API requires passing the referrer #6

Closed harpster604 closed 8 years ago

Does this still work? I'm getting "too many API errors" and it doesn't do anything. I tried to manually access the API link and it seems to return a 504 gateway timeout.

Ah, I'm glad you caught that. They've added a referrer check to their API. I've retitled this issue, and I'll modify Frostline to pass http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/ as the referrer.

All set! Thanks for this, @harpster604.

So it was working fine when I tested it after the last fix, but now that I actually need to run it, I'm getting errors again.

‽Too many API errors: halting.

From what I can see it looks like they changed the api from: http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/ZipProxy.ashx to http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/secure/ZipProxy.ashx

But it still doesn't seem to be grabbing any data for me.

@harpster604, see #7 and #8.
