I wrote a telegram bot that would send requests to cowin server. I am able to test it on a development server but when I deploy it on heroku it gives out error 403 when accessed The code was written in python headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36'}

resp = requests.get("https://cdn-api.co-vin.in/api/v2/admin/location/districts/{ids}".format(ids=ids),headers=headers)

resp returns error 403

Hey, That's because you can access COWIN Api via an Indian server. Please try using AWS, Azure, etc. with the Indian region data server. I also tried with Heroku but failed even digital ocean also didn't work for me. Now, when I started using AWS it's working fine.

Thanks!

I checked your request parameters, it didn't work for me

I made this website that sends free personalized vaccine availability alerts based on centers/hospitals on WhatsApp. Have a look or share it with someone who might need it. Would love your feedback.https://vaccine.india-covid.info/
