Code 403 on requests
The Github REST API limits the number of requests that can be made. For an
unauthenticated user it's 60 per hour so it's likely this is the case if you
have run the tests a few times.
Run curl -i https://api.github.com/users/octocat. If the limit is hit something like this will be shown:
...
x-ratelimit-limit: 60
x-ratelimit-remaining: 0
x-ratelimit-reset: 1676361860
x-ratelimit-resource: core
x-ratelimit-used: 60
content-length: 280
x-github-request-id: 9506:1A1C:F7D0CD:FCC1BE:63EB3C83
{"message":"API rate limit exceeded for XXX.XXX.XXX.XX. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting"}
The best way to solve this is to [create a github token][https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token]. And then adding an auth field to the request:
response = requests.get(f'https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}', auth=(user, token))
