Niantic is blocking cloud based server. #36

If you are reading this and having issues with not getting any results and your script is running on heroku or another cloud based platform the chances are that niantic is blocking that servers IP. You can still run this on your own server, or locally and it should work.

My bot is working fine from a Heroku server. Please provide some links to more information about Niantic blocking IPs.

Looks like they are blocking all ec2 servers, which heroku runs on. Just hearing this from multiple discord channels and from other libraries.

@jakeboyles thanks for the tip, on Discord now (https://discord.gg/W9CZTgn). Investigation ongoing while the train internet holds up...
