Hi,
I hope this is the right mailing list to discuss this issue. Some time ago I ran into a series of temporary bans, I thought I managed to tackle this basically by doing a full stop once it gets any response header code other than 200.
However, this seems not to have fixed it, since I received the following message:
"requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: You have been banned until 2019-10-18T10:21:36.495Z, please respect throttling and retry-after headers. for url: https://query.wikidata.org/sparql"
I am looking into this from scratch and see if I can implement a better solution and certainly one that really respects the retry-after time instead of going full stop.
Whatever I try now, I keep getting 200 headers and I don't want to start an excessive bot run to get into a ban state to see the exact header that the bot needs to respect.
Is there an example of such a header which I can use to make my own test script?
Or is there example python could that successfully deals with a retry-after header?
Regards,
Andra
