Access Denied

[icepick3000]

I saw that an update was posted here.. but i still get the same error..

_LOGGER.debug(f"Access denied. Failed to refresh, attempt {count} of {max}.")

I read reports this fixes the problem for some users. I wonder if they blocked my IP or something.. but on the other hand.. it still works from my smartphone.

Which version of the library are you using?

[icepick3000]

I am using 1.2.3... i updated today as soon as you posted it..

Currently I am not able to do extensive testing. Could you have a look at the exact error your receive? What if you do the curl request.

Fix in: #22

[peternijssen]

I had a call with PostNL about the issue. Unfortunately they have no solution for us yet in the near future and after talking with them, we came to the conclusion to remove PostNL as a component from HA. See my message over here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-postnl/112433/281

@peternijssen is #22 not fixing this? As an unofficial work around?

[peternijssen]

@iMicknl I asked PostNL if there was a work around that we could use, even the web login and they said no. On the other hand, HA changed some rules and they don't like components that break all the time, which kinda happened lately to PostNL.

As I understood, either the web login has or will have also some bot protection.

[peternijssen]

I had a conversation with PostNL again as people still request a HA integration on a regular basis. Basically the answer is that there is still no official solution, but we can use the web login from now on as suggested here earlier. The only requirement is that we do max once an hour a request, to avoid being seen as a bot.

In that essence, we can update this library and create a custom component for HA and I can update the Lovelace card. Anyone up to this?

[iMicknl]

I am happy to update the Python library and make it async in the coming weeks, however I am not sure about the current behaviour of PostNL. If they are against it and actively block the requests, it will be a cat-and-mouse game.

[peternijssen]

Agree. This was the response from the head of digital development when I asked about to use the web login;
1x per uur zie ik niet direct een issue in, zal het nog even nalopen. Zeker niet als de toegang via het postnl account verloopt.
