\n \n \n request\n | \n \n Object\n | \n \n\n- `request.signal`: Use an [`AbortController`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController) instance to cancel a request. [`abort-controller`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/abort-controller) is an implementation for Node.\n- `request.fetch`: Replacement for [built-in fetch method]().\n\nNode only\n\n- `request.timeout` sets a request timeout, defaults to 0\n\nThe `request` option can also be set on a per-request basis.\n\n |
\n \n \n timeZone\n | \n \n String\n | \n \n\nSets the `Time-Zone` header which defines a timezone according to the [list of names from the Olson database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).\n\n```js\nconst octokit = new Octokit({\n timeZone: \"America/Los_Angeles\",\n});\n```\n\nThe time zone header will determine the timezone used for generating the timestamp when creating commits. See [GitHub's Timezones documentation](https://developer.github.com/v3/#timezones).\n\n | \n
\n \n \n throttle\n | \n \n Object\n | \n \n\n`Octokit` implements request throttling using [`@octokit/plugin-throttling`](https://github.com/octokit/plugin-throttling.js/#readme)\n\nBy default, requests are retried once and warnings are logged in case of hitting a rate or secondary rate limit.\n\n```js\n{\n onRateLimit: (retryAfter, options, octokit) => {\n octokit.log.warn(\n `Request quota exhausted for request ${options.method} ${options.url}`\n );\n\n if (options.request.retryCount === 0) {\n // only retries once\n octokit.log.info(`Retrying after ${retryAfter} seconds!`);\n return true;\n }\n },\n onSecondaryRateLimit: (retryAfter, options, octokit) => {\n octokit.log.warn(\n `SecondaryRateLimit detected for request ${options.method} ${options.url}`\n );\n\n if (options.request.retryCount === 0) {\n // only retries once\n octokit.log.info(`Retrying after ${retryAfter} seconds!`);\n return true;\n }\n },\n};\n```\n\nTo opt-out of this feature:\n\n```js\nnew Octokit({ throttle: { enabled: false } });\n```\n\nThrottling in a cluster is supported using a Redis backend.
