Hello i use API to download project from private reposiories,
i’ve got 429 already.
curl --header “PRIVATE-TOKEN: privateTOKEN” https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/ProjectID/repository/archive.zip
need help please.
Hi @Djomobil59 and welcome to the GitLab forum! 
HTTP 429 status code usually indicates there were to many requests made within a given amount of time by a single user.
I believe the artifacts project API endpoint is rate limited to 5 hits per minute.
Once the block is removed, specify sleep 15 or similar time-to-wait between requests in your script to stay under the 5/minute limit and you shouldn’t have this problem anymore.
I don’t see anywhere in our docs, so I created an issue to document this for the future: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/215718
