Data Import
When you add a repository, ProgressCue imports historical data from GitHub so your dashboards have context from day one.
What we import
Section titled “What we import”- Pull requests and review timelines
- Deployments
- CI/CD workflow runs
PRs and deployments go back 6 months. Workflow runs go back 30 days.
Why it can take a while
Section titled “Why it can take a while”GitHub’s REST API allows 5,000 requests per hour per installation. Each pull request needs extra requests to fetch review timelines, so repos with hundreds of PRs add up fast.
When we approach the rate limit the import pauses automatically and resumes after the limit resets (~1 hour). Large repositories may need several cycles to finish.
See GitHub’s rate limit docs for more detail.
Tracking progress
Section titled “Tracking progress”While an import is running, an “Importing historical data for N repositories” banner appears at the top of every page. Click the link to open the Repositories page where each repository shows its import status for Pull Requests, Deployments, and Workflow Runs. The import may pause temporarily due to GitHub rate limits and will resume automatically.
