[mjmadsen]

Follow the steps listed in #4477

[pmwoodward3]

neither of the solutions in that thread worked for me.

[mjmadsen]

Tried going through tor or changing IP too?

[venkrishr]

@mjmadsen yeah those steps didnt work for me either,
one of the solutions is for docker and another one is for Windows.
I'm on a Mac, my IP has not been banned. So didnt work for me

[pmwoodward3]

@mjmadsen Yep, different IPs and using torify.

[supergithubo]

What is your pogo api version?

[venkrishr]

1.1.8

[supergithubo]

Have you installed requirements with --upgrade flag? pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade. I also had the errors but I can't reproduce after doing: (1) requirements upgrade. (2) remove pogo api and reinstall. (3) change my ip (tor reload). (4) recreate bin folder (virtualenv) and (5) disable social. I'm not sure but one of them fixed it.

[iakovoszournatzis]

i have the same problem. Any solution guys?

[mjmadsen]

What @supergithubo said.

[iakovoszournatzis]

i have done all @supergithubo solutions except "change ip" with no luck. I have static IP, so i cannot change it, but do you really think that IP is the problem?

[mjmadsen]

@iakovoszournatzis Sorry, this form of error can be tough to hunt down. From what I've seen it is usually solved by following those steps or is an IP ban. Hopefully as some point we can have better error reporting for such problem.

We'll leave open and hopefully someone can help you out more.

[lwq008]

I hit into this and used VPN to resolve it. Looks like to me that my IP address was banned.

[mjmadsen]

@lwq008 keep in mind a lot of botters are using VPNs. It's only a matter of time before their IP range is also blocked. Perhaps using the TOR network is a better solution (though recent update seems to get the client's network info).

@iakovoszournatzis Any luck?

[iakovoszournatzis]

@mjmadsen you guys are right. i got something like ban...

[mjmadsen]

@pmwoodward3 How about you?
