Partial Serach on https://pypi.org/search/?o=&q={searchtext}&page=1 not working - getting error

[shivangi4742]

const axios = require('axios');
const https = require('https');

const url = 'https://pypi.org/search/?o=&q=po&page=1'; 

const agent = new https.Agent({  
    rejectUnauthorized: false
});

(async () => {
    try {
        const response = await axios.get(url, { httpsAgent: agent });
        console.log('Response:', response.data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('An error occurred:', error.message);
    }
})();

This is my code. I am using a VPN, which is why I have set rejectUnauthorized to false. However, I am experiencing the same issue on my personal machine. Now, I am receiving an error in HTML format. This code was working earlier. Please help me out.

This is expected behavior, please see https://discuss.python.org/t/fastly-interfering-with-pypi-search/73597/13 for more context.

@woodruffw In my functionality, I need to search for packages using partial names. In the frontend, we allow users to search for a package, and then we call the appropriate API to retrieve a list of matching packages. However, the REST API provided by PyPI does not support partial searches. Therefore, I need to use the API at https://pypi.org/search/?o=&q=po&page=1 to achieve this.

what I do that for that ? any solution?
