Insomnia - Blocked API

Sort:
djo_75

Hello everyone!

I'm currently building an app using the API of Chess.com. In order to test it and what each endpoint returns, I'm using Insomnia, my URL and so on is good but when I send a request, look at the response:

Why does it say I'm blocked while there's no token requested? Is there any config Chess.com is expecting from me? I checked any info on Chess.com related with Insomnia/Postman and my problem but I couldn't find anything.

Anyone had this problem? Thanks for your help!

Do you have your header set with contact information?

Oh I didn't see this announcement so I guess that's the reason! I'll check and revert, I just requested a contact for my headers then. Thanks a lot

You don't need anything more than your email address or Chess.com username as contact information
