If you encounter issues or wish to adjust your organization’s limits, you can do so—instructions on how to overcome these limits are available on the [official **GitHub** website](https://docs.github.com/en/rest?apiVersion=2022-11-28). If your **OAuth** app needs to make unauthenticated calls with a higher rate limit, you can provide your app’s client ID and secret before the endpoint route.
