11 years ago Hey there, thanks for submitting an issue. Can you do some narrowing down to verify that it's a proxy issue? For example, hitting BN with no proxy or from a different proxy?

I'm using Proxymesh to scrape Barnes & Noble through campusId 88.
api.php works until the division level, where it throws the scraper error: "Warning: No entities returned from bookstore with division=2077"
I've tested the url generated from the bookstore_functions.php in a browser and the
I've also tested that same url through a browser-based proxy (ninjacloak.com) and returned the following error from Barnes and Noble:
The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator.

This is the same error that is returned from the api.php when I've echoed the serialized request and response. So my feeling is that somehow B&N knows the request is from a proxy and blocking it. Or I've done something wrong. I don't see why it works for the first two calls but not for the third.
