Website URL

https://sop.free.nf

Error Message

It doesnt connect with cURL since today. Yesterday it did and on localhost it still works

Other Information

I wanted to connect to Discord API but it returns not to know discord.com

As far as I know, Discord never worked on our hosting. It was blocked either by Discord or on our end, due to rampant abuse (like spam bots).

If it worked for you before, I suppose you got lucky, and were either able to exploit a bug on our end, or a brief window of access before Discord blocked us again.

In any case, this is basically known behavior on free hosting.

Ok, that’s actually worst case scenario because my website is all about discord. But this bug persisted for about a month so quiet a long time. Thanks for your answer!

try using a proxy api like https://www.scraperapi.com/

Thanks for the advice but since it’s not a free solution I could use another provider or paid plan as well

But would it work with guzzle api?

It does, and it allows 1000 requests for free every month. You can dig around the internet and RapidAPI to find a specialized solution that offers a more generous free plan.

Hi craftXplorer,

Regardless of service provider nor host, trying to use a proxy is basically security circumvention practices from the provider’s end, and you’ll very likely earn a ID-based ban, Discord or not.

  1. Let Discord know your intentions and measures on how you’re gonna be compliant.
  2. Move your application to a regular hosting that is not on Discord ban list and basically make clean your profile with them (much difficult because your API attempts are all logged.)

Cheers!
