Unable to access data API

Hi ,

I registered for Api access BUT whenever I access api I get error

Request blocked

Sorry, your request was blocked by our automated security systems.

Kindly help me I need to prepare some demo and its kind of urgent

Your help will be appreciated

If it’s open API why we are not allowed to access it

Did this happen on the first request?

What language, platform and firewalls do you have?

Hi @rajeevsharma

Welcome to the community.

We rate-limit anonymous access to our API.

Are you appending your app_id and api_key to the requests you are sending? This will ensure you use the quota that’s associated with your account.

Thanks,
James

Hi @jamesevans

I know this is a rather old topic but I am hitting the same problem. What factors are there that can cause this block; I found one regarding the User Agent in another thread but that is not the cause in my case. The issue occurs both with and without the api_key (I believe the app_id is now redundant?).

Thanks

James
