Flutter / Mobile returning 503

Question
1

Hey all,

I’m new in, just fiddling around with some data points and a new framework Flutter.

So I wanted to grab the data from here to demonstrate a few things,
I can get the data fine in the Browser or Insomnia,
But when I make the request from my app (requests working fine for other data points),
I am getting 503… Any clues at all?

I have added the app id and key in the URL as stated. Feels like I’m missing something simple.
Also is there any documentation on the return codes?

My request
https://api.openchargemap.io/v3/poi/?output=json&countrycode=GB&maxresults=500&client={myAppName}&key={myAppKey}

Thanks
Aiden

Oh, so it started working, probably just took a few minutes for the app to get registered on the back end. Only other change i made was to include the User-Agent header duplicating the appId.

Hi Aiden, so the User Agent is pretty important as there a bunch of generic ones that are banned for spamming the API/being robots.

The error 503 is probably a combination of the service refusing the connection and our cloudflare worker not knowing how to handle that response, I guess!
