Cleverbot API Unstable #1

I am working on a Node.js Cleverbot project and am having trouble with the unofficial Cleverbot API: http://cleverbot.com/webservicemin. I often get 403 forbidden errors and no data. Have you experienced this with cobe-cleverbot?

Well, i'm using the module from http://code.google.com/p/chatter-bot-api/ Yes, i've tried solving it by sending an android user agent (https://github.com/loadletter/pydaisy/commit/b7a4a197aa6f2f1976a407f65e86fc8c07b93686), but it still randomly bans. Even adding some human-like delay doesn't seem to change much, so as a workaround i've just added the pysocks module to use TOR, since it changes the exit-node/IP every 10 minutes.
