You would have to contact Wikimedia's Site Reliability Engineering team with a request like this. Your best way forward is probably to file a task in Phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ and tag it with #Operations.

Hello,
in 2016 I wrote a small Android app, that is making use of the Wikipedia ActionApi to search for articles at the current location of a user. Due to legal considerations I am currently trying to take down the app. It’s not available any more in the Google PlayStore, but there are still installations out there. That’s why I want to make these installations unusable by deactivating all backend services, that the app is using. Unfortunately the app is (partially) directly communicating with wikipedia servers and not via a proxy under my control. The app sends a special User-Agent HTTP header with every request to identify itself:
tagorama/v1.0.0.283-release (http://tagorama.rocks/; info@tagorama.rocks)
Is there any way for you to block requests from this app? Who would I contact?
