Http 403 error with correct api key

[giraygokirmak]

data = quandl.get("FRED/GDP") print(data.head()) With correct api key (already renewed api key and checked with curl the same request as https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/GDP/data.json?api_key=XXXXXXXXXX and it returns correct formatted json) but Quandl 3.4.3 does return:

Hello,

Could you update to 3.4.4 and see if this issue still occurs? Additionally, which specific version of python 3.5 are you using?

[giraygokirmak]

I'm having the same problem on 3.4.4 with Python 3.5.2 and 3.6.7 versions with the code example below: import quandl quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = '***' data = quandl.get("FRED/GDP")

[jjmar]

I've attempted to make that same call using both Python 3.5.2 and Python 3.6.7 in addition to making the request using the api_key associated with the Quandl account linked to the email visible on your github profile page and I get successful responses.

I finally figured out the problem, it seems like my server's ip is banned by cloudflare somehow (probably all subnet is banned because of some stupid abuser) I debugged the request and saw that i'm acutally receiving this: "\n" So i'm closing the issue, i'm so sory that i took your time buddy.
