cat command doesn't work (403 on domain) #133

Closed angeloanan closed 6 years ago

HTTP 403 on http://aws.random.cat/ HTTP 403 on http://aws.random.cat/meow

rayzr522 commented 6 years ago

Huh, I moved over to aws.random.cat from random.cat per the instructions from random.cat/meow:

{
    "error": "Please start calling the API on the aws sub-domain, http:\/\/aws.random.cat\/meow -- this API serves over 5 million requests a month"
}

However, apparently the AWS site is down as well. Without any further instructions as to what subdomain / endpoint to use, it seems like //cat will just have to remain broken for now. Presumably the owner of random.cat will patch this soon, but if not, then I will have to find a new cat image API at some point.

TL;DR for now I think I'm just gonna leave this, and we'll see if the owner patches it :)

Use thecatapi.com as an alternative? The docs says that it doesn't require an API key. I'll test it out first.

aws.random.cat works. but its being weird, works fine in the browser for me, but if i curl it, it spits a 403 error

angeloanan commented 6 years ago

You sure about that? image

It's working sometimes and for some people. The origin of the requests' country seems to be playing a part in it as well, perhaps, though that may have been blind luck.

The problem with TheCatAPI.com is that it doesn't return data we can use quite as easily as random.cat/meow, though we should be able to parse the XML format (http://thecatapi.com/api/images/get?format=xml). I'm going to make a branch on SharpBot to test this :)

Switched over to thecatapi.com as aws.random.cat seems to be simply far too unstable for now. Please update via //exec -s git pull.
