HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

API
#1

Hi PVOutput’ers

I have been running python code on my Synology NAS that pulls the data from my solar invertor and uses the API to update my PVOutput every 5 mins for over 12 months and its been running awesomely. From May 4th I have been getting random events of API errors of HTTP Error 403: Forbidden. Sometimes hours go by without issues, other times I might have half a dozen error events, it runs fine the majority of the time. I am within the requirements and limits etc and I can not figure out why this would occur? Its rather generic 403 according to the help doco. Anyone have any ideas?

A 403 error is most likely a rate limit error.

The error message is returned in the body of the HTTP response.

Cant be rate limit error, I changed the scheduled task to now run every minute instead of once every 5 mins. The interval loss is a lot less now since the chances of a failed upload is now less having 5 upload chances per 5 min interval block in pvoutput.
