Imgur error curious

[d0rq]

Hi, firstly ty for all the work you guys do. This imgur titler worked great for a couple of days then all of a sudden i get some kind of error about credits, which in turn produces a http 429 error which is basically denied, but it only calls for 2 links every 1 hr. I have the client id set the secret set. line 153, in make_request raise ImgurClientRateLimitError() ImgurClientRateLimitError: Rate-limit exceeded! ERROR 2017-04-18T22:24:18 Exception id: 0xb8e6f so im very new to this how do i stop this error? as no way i have reached any kind of limits. ty

I don't think I've ever encountered this error and I have much more traffic to imgur than that. Is your code modified?

This post has some information about how to check the requests being made on your account. I hope this helps!

You can also set the log level on the bot which will produce additional (LOTS) of info in the console/logs: !config supybot.log.level DEBUG

[d0rq]

Hi, It was working fine for a while then all of a suddedn it started again. ERROR 2017-04-19T20:07:13 ERROR opening http://imgur.com/search?q=/*removed* message: HTTP Error 429: Unknown Error only error so far if i can reproduce the other in a minute ill show you that.

[butterscotchstallion]

429 is rate limit as shown in the documentation (https://api.imgur.com/errorhandling#429)

yeh that article says to add

def __init__(self, client_id, client_secret, access_token=None, refresh_token=None, mashape_key=None):

that somewhere.

Ohh you know. what. when i clicked that link. it said also by ip.. so if its on vpn maybe others are too. lol. so its just because of that i guarantee it. TY for pointing me in proper direction. Its gotta be due to ip. only thing i can think of.

[butterscotchstallion]

That sounds about right. VPN IPs are often shared and I'd even wager that imgur has lower rate limits for VPNs. Glad you figured it out.

Please open a new issue if you have any further problems :)
