API call again forbidden about flightradar24-client HOT 10 CLOSED

Sorry, you are right 😄

Now working as expected 🚀

from flightradar24-client.

as of right now its still working for me... with [email protected]

from flightradar24-client.

Not for me with a simple local test.

Error: Forbidden
statusCode: 403

The problem is the current UserAgent:

const headers = {
	//'User-Agent': 'https://github.com/derhuerst/fetch-flightradar24-flights'
}

It could be banned.

I've replaced that piece of code with:

const headers = {
	'User-Agent': makeId(5)
}

function makeId(length) {
	let result = '';
	const characters = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
	const charactersLength = characters.length;
	let counter = 0;
	while (counter < length) {
		result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength));
		counter += 1;
	}
	return result;
}

@efraespada, did you test with version 1.0.0? The user agent should be fixed already using the code here: https://github.com/derhuerst/flightradar24-client/blob/abc2a54a747cb1153ec97fe5df91541bd163ea0d/lib/random-user-agent.js (see also #29 )

Probably this is obvious for everyone else, but when trying to understand what was wrong on my system, I figured out that the flightradar24-client module was installed not only in the top level node_modules folder but as an older version in the node_modules/node-red-contrib-fr24tube/node_modules folder. I know your the author of fr24tube, so its unlikely that this would get in your way, but still letting you know, just in case...

Just to prevent false positives here, can you all make sure you're running the latest 0.x version (0.3.1) or 1.x (currently 1.0.0)? You can check this using npm ls (or npm ls --depth 2, if flightradar24-client is nested within another package's dependencies).

In addition, it might be that you're being IP-rate-limited or -blocked. To rule this out, you can try to debug this from a fresh IP (that you haven't made requests from).

Closing this. Please try to provide steps to reproduce the issue when it occurs again.
