Hi all, I contact the support and now WE have to pay one Time 50 dollars, due to abuse, check answer:

Sorry for the inconvenience. Due to abuse we now require accounts to have at least a membership in order to run search queries. The account you're using is a free account which is why you're now seeing the 403 error message. Note that a Membership is a one-time payment of $49 (i.e. not a subscription):

So, this API project has become useless without paying?

Yes, for now we've had to take this measure to limit IP lookups and searches to users that have at least a Membership. As an alternative for free IP lookups you can check out:
