403 Forbidden Response

[Robakero]

I have used your excellent scraper for months - thank you. I have now upgraded to the latest retropie and installed the scraper as per the instructions and all went well as it normally does. This is a fresh install on a clean retropie 3.4 image for raspberry pi2. When I run the scraper, I get:

403 Forbidden response
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Followed by loads of other stuff (attached). Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Okay the panic is me not properly handling the 403 error that is returned. I'll clean that up. The 403 is odd I have the ACL on those files set to public and I just tried it and it worked. Can you see if it is working now?

NM I was able to reproduce this. I have run out of free quota for serving the files. Somehow I served 1GB in the past 16h so need to wait 8h for the quota to reset.

Found the issue. I disabled a feature that I had a long time ago where I was caching the thegamesdb and people could use it as a source of data. I guess I forgot to disable the endpoints on my server and someone is using a very old build or something started crawling the site and found it. So it ate up all my quota.

In 8h the quota should reset. I apologize for the inconvenience.

just run the scraper -thumb_only command and returned me the message got 403 Forbidden response, any idea what is happening and may the day of correction?

As I mentioned previously, someone used up all my quota on my Google account and in 3h the quota will reset and everything will start working again. I have deleted all the files and removed the urls that were used so this shouldn't happen again.
