Another ambiguous error message for an API error

[julianblue]

Hi @gadomski , @matthewhanson ,

when running a batch job of searches against the earth search api (approx. 300) through lambdas I receive a cystic api error

pystac_client.exceptions.APIError: {"message":"Forbidden"}

This error message does not match any previous raised issues so I opened a new one.

Requests are made up of single small geometries (1000sqm - 10000sqm) and a time range of the entire S2 archive. I am using the latest pystac_client version 0.7.5 and I do not specify a limit. When the requests fail with this api error I retry with a limit of 20.
Is there an ip based throttling that could cause this ?

I appreciate any insights into how to solve this. Thanks in advance.

There is some throttling and concurrency limits in place, which could be causing your error. My first recommendation would be to try configuring retries: https://pystac-client.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#configuring-retry-behavior. This may auto-magically skate over the concurrency issues.

If retries don't work, can you provide an example query / script that I could use to reproduce? Thanks!

@julianblue I'm going to close this as fixed, please re-open (preferably w/ some example scripts so we can reproduce) if the retry suggestion didn't help.
