List Index Error for "metadata" Variable

[ereizas]

Description: When a computer on the same network is using VPN, there is a List Index Error for the "metadata" variable in azapi.py. When I printed the variable, its value was "["\r\n Our systems have detected unusual activity from your IP address (computer network). \r\n This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot.\r\n "] This error still lingers even after I turn off my VPN.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Turn on VPN
2. Follow the example flow to set up and call getLyrics()

Expected behavior I expected for the search lyrics to work as normal and return lyrics if they can be found via its process.

I realize that this is most likely because of an IP ban. I would appreciate any advice on how to use a proxy to avoid the issue.

You can get free proxues from many websites. This is one you can use: https://free-proxy-list.net/

To use a proxy in azapi:

from azapi import AZLyrics

proxies = {
   'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080',
   'https': 'http://secureproxy.example.com:8090',
}

API = azapi.AZlyrics(
                 'google',
                 accuracy=0.5,
                 proxies=proxies
          )

Thank you! Have you been able to find the rate limit for AZ's API? I can't find anything.

I integrated proxies, but am still getting the same issue @elmoiv

[nberkow]

I'm also getting this error with and without proxies

[jasonzeeee]

Sadly, it would seem that this API is broken as I am getting the same index out of range error with and without proxies.

Will examine the code ASAP and see if there are any issues within

+1. Thanks for looking into it @elmoiv! 😸

Here's a gist of the result of htmlFindAll(page) on line 94 of azapi.py.

Looks like AZLyrics implemented a captcha page.

Anybody figure out a way to get around the captcha yet?
