Getting 403 Forbidden

[ghost]

So I've been using the API for a while and all of a sudden I started getting the 403 about a week ago. So I tried re-authenticating with a new npsso token. No dice. I waited a few hours tried again, same thing. Then I waited about 2 days and I still get the same error.

The error I get is:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException: Client error: `POST https://auth.api.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/2.0/oauth/token` resulted in a `403 Forbidden` response: Access Denied

Any ideas what is wrong?

Here is my authentication code:

require_once '/directory/vendor/autoload.php';

use PlayStation\Client;

$client = new Client();
//                           v code from above
$client->loginWithNpsso('<npsso code>');

$refreshToken = $client->refreshToken();

403 means your IP is banned for API Requests / Akamai.

Is there anyway to get around it? I wasn't even requesting all that much to my knowledge. The ban doesn't lift after some period of time? Furthermore, I thought if you hit too many requests they just hit you with a 429 and you had to wait. I haven't seen anyone else on here talk about a permanent ban.

Only way I know – use different IP. Usually such bans lifted after few hours, but some time it can stay active for a week or so. They have 2 limits on API, one on API side, with will give you 429 errors, second on server/ Akamai side, it will ether give you 403 error or connection timeout without any error.

You can check for more details on Akamai IP ban here: issue #82, issue #119 and FriendsOfGalaxy/galaxy-integration-psn#7
