Hey @programmy
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble accessing WordPress.org from your developer PC. The “429 Too Many Requests” error means the server has temporarily blocked your IP due to a high number of requests in a short period of time. This is a security measure to protect the site.
To resolve this issue, please try the following:
- Wait for some time: The block is usually temporary, and your access may be restored automatically after a few hours.
- Restart your router: This may help if your IP address is dynamically assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), as it could change after a restart.
- Contact your ISP: If you have a static IP and continue to face this issue, reach out to your ISP to see if they can help with changing your IP.
Hope this helps.
@kausaralm thank you for prompt response but unfortunately I can’t do this. This is my VPS hosted on Contabo with a lot of services connected with it. So changing IP or resetting router is not an option.
Why would I be blocked, could it be because I was sending API requests to mywebsite.com
'{url}/wp-json/wp/v2/media/{media_id}?force=true'
If you provide the IP of your VPS we can take a look.
