Service Seems Blocked

[WASasquatch]

On Colab, Windows, Linux, all on different networks, this service is now being blocked. It runs once, but any subsequent calls result in 500 Internal Service Error.

Example code

import quantumrandom

print(quantumrandom.get_data()) # Prints random number first time, 500 any time after

listn = quantumrandom.get_data(data_type='uint16', array_length=5) 

print(listn) # Always gives 500 error as it runs after first call

Here is the stacktrace from Colab which seems more detailed then cmd or terminal:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same issue here on my Colab project using quantumrandom package.

@claudefalbriard @WASasquatch Error 500 -> Quantum Service Quota was hit

So you get to use it once, then blocked? Lol 😂😆

You can't even test per directions cause you blocked right away. None of this is mentioned on repo or pypi.

Hello, thanks for checking it; After the first access, still getting error at the Python API , see the message below:   HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error Regards, Claude  On Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 01:40:26 PM GMT-3, WAS @.***> wrote:

It seems this is not an issue with the quantumrandom package, but rather the service provider ANU. They have switched to a paid model, but still offer a modest plan for free. The old service can still be accessed at the rate of one request per minute, but will eventually be phased out.

I think they are blocking robots. It will work once and then never again on my IP without changing it. Not that it works once every minute. Never again.
