API access denied

[phamquyet1998]

I get the following error when accessing the website:
429::API access denied
I only accessed it once

Can confirm this too consistently on

• Win10 QEMU//KVM with virtIO
• 131.0.6778.205 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable)

whilst it works fine in the host-system (Debian)

Same issue. I was able to successfully access the website from my actual google chrome browser at first, then I wanted to test out an AdsPower browser profile and I got this 429 API Access denied error.

It's likely the browser build is generating too much traffic. I disabled the active rules, except for a few. Try now.

There are some hidden rate-limiters behind the scenes and it is an extremely aggressive by design. The site is frequently overwhelmed. Firefox, Safari, or the latest stable channel of Google Chrome on Windows 10 or 11 are less likely to get rate limited based on the build.

Will try today & lyk

Yes, assumed so. Sounds to be like you're//were blocking Win Chrome builds which route through linux (e.g Win VM).

I guess some sort of captcha would be neat for those cases.

So yes, I can confirm #277 (comment) to be resolved by that, thanks.
Sorry it took that long - kinda forgot:)

Perfect. I'll leave this issue open in case other legitimate browsers are still impacted.
