ERROR 403

[SSPlusUltra]

I think its getting blocked when its trying to book the appointment after finding it. So it works till it finds the appointment and then we get this error

[rickmania382]

Fails after 3 attempts. It was a good run bois. Thanks captain Duy Pham Le!

[SSPlusUltra]

@rickmania382 I just got an appointment lol, still works but cant go as long as before

[thitganuong]

I run just a little bit and got the same error, retry but not work

[Shahomie]

I'm also getting the same error

[phamleduy04]

are you using v3.1.0?

[Shahomie]

are you using v3.1.0?

Yes, I ran the git pull, npm install, and npm update commands. After doing so, I ran npm run start. The code will run for a few seconds and then the error will keep coming up until it stops all together after 3 times.

[SharvaParalkar]

same thing happening, using 3.1.0

[phamleduy04]

i got that error randomly, sometimes the request passing got stuck with 403

[rickmania382]

FYI. The app has no issues with booking the appointment once found. It is not hitting "/api/AvailableLocation" after three attempts. Yesterday's update did something.

[phamleduy04]

The error like @SSPlusUltra got I think that he got IP banned, try to use a VPN to see if it works.

[phamleduy04]

@rickmania382 ty. I think they implement some kind of rate limit

[rickmania382]

Yeah. Now, we just gotta find a workaround. Leave that to me, boss.

[SharvaParalkar]

increased interval from 10000 to 30000 it's running for longer now and hasn't stopped working yet

[phamleduy04]

just implement some kind of workaround for the rate limit. Will need to find permanent fix

[zerowebcorp]

DPS web team is getting smarter.

[Shahomie]

Yea, I just did a git pull for 3.1.1, currently getting the 403 status error and got rate limited

[Shahomie]

DPS web team is getting smarter.

Instead making things harder for people, they should start hiring more and fix the backlog of months of no appointment

[Shahomie]

I was able to get an appointment even though the error codes are coming up

[sumanthdaruvuri]

@Shahomie Garland Mega Center doesn't even come on my location list despite me putting it's zipcode.

I narrowed down the filters to one location, same day and I am not getting rate limited now. But that also narrows down my chances of getting an appointment

[AryanPillai2007]

@phamleduy04 thank you so much for your help, I managed to get a spot!

[phamleduy04]

great to see the app work again :). Will try to find a fix for those rate limit, maybe better queue management something

[thitganuong]

I think this error happened when you scan over 2 persons/request in the same time.

[AsadMoulviDev]

Hey, I keep getting rate-limited has anyone tried with a VPN ?

[itsmateen]

[santiago-brent]

I am also getting rate-limited 403 errors, VPN results in same thing. Did we get caught? XD

[aphyio]

still getting rate limited 403 errors, vpn aswell does nothing

[shahvaibhavutd]

I tried running raw request via Postman and that looks to be working fine, just fyi

[santiago-brent]

Could you walk us through the setup process? Sorry, I'm a hardware guy.

[shahvaibhavutd]

@santiago-brent It very manual process where you have to make every single request one at a time, I wouldn't recommend it since this solution works well (given when your IP is not perm banned).
