Interesting I did try adding a random parameter on the end of the string and it didn’t work, I will revisit that idea and send random user agent strings and see if that then works!

Thanks so much for looking at it (and I am glad it was not just me!) I will let you know if and when it works! ❤️

Thanks! It's great to be here.

Since this looks like an unwanted api behavior, I copied it over to forem's github tracker (github.com/forem/forem/issues/13293).

Also (though it doesn't help your script directly) it looks like the cached 404 response does expire automatically, maybe after 1 hour.
