Cant Login due to Leagues API returned malformed data... server replied: Forbidden

[Squirtrex]

Cant login to acquisition due to the above message. I think it may have to due with rate limiting issues that are currently still being worked on? I also get stuck in infinte loops of rate limiting when fetching stash tabs that always get blocked. Anyone know of a fix for this?

The same thing, yesterday it worked fine, today it no longer works

Don't have time to develop a fix for this right now, but if you set your User Agent to something generic (like what web browsers use), then who knows what GGG might do to your account. I would assume that it would be a form of Rate Limiting evasion, so do so at your own risk.

Here's their statement on what the User Agent should be for any programs talking to their APIs:
https://www.pathofexile.com/developer/docs#:~:text=Any%20application%20that%20interacts%20with%20our%20API%20must%20set%20an%20identifiable%20User%20Agent%20header%20prefixed%20using%20the%20following%20format

Finally got a chance to get my debugger going for the project, and see the following response when launching the program:

{
    "error": {
        "code": 6,
        "message": "Temporarily Unavailable; This version of Acquisition is causing issues and has been blocked"
    }
}

Not much I can do right now, since I'm not getting too much info as to why it's being blocked, though from the previous update from GGG (#41 (comment)), I won't be surprised if 0.9.7 is being blocked due to excessive requests to their API as well.

[Jozen2023]

0.9.6. doesnt work either, since about 2 days....was working fine before

Any update on what we can do to get this fixed? kinda painful to sell items lol

[Jozen2023]

I have a solution: abandon PoE...it seems like is slowly dying anyway..

[aiolos01]

Seems acquisition has been banned because of excessive requests.

I guess the way yo go would be:

1. Create a new version that does not autoupdate anything. This way we can update the few tabs that actually change (non remove-only) when we need to and without hitting the rate limiter.
2. Notify GGG that the issue has been resolved and get acquisition unbanned (only the new version as whoever still has the old one would cause the same issues).

In order for Acquisition to get unblocked it needs to fix going over rate limits or switch to using OAuth.
