Describe the issue

when I fetch https://translate.mattermost.com/api/users/ with my api-key in the authorization header I receive following response
instead of a json array like it used to be.

        body,
        html {
            height: 100%;
            display: flex;
            justify-content: center;
            align-items: center;
            margin-left: auto;
            margin-right: auto;
        }

        .centered-div {
            text-align: center;
        }

        #status {
            font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums;
        }

        #progress {
          display: none;
          width: 90%;
          width: min(20rem, 90%);
          height: 2rem;
          border-radius: 1rem;
          overflow: hidden;
          margin: 1rem 0 2rem;
					outline-offset: 2px;
					outline: #b16286 solid 4px;
				}

        .bar-inner {
            background-color: #b16286;
            height: 100%;
            width: 0;
            transition: width 0.25s ease-in;
        }

I played a bit with it, and it seems to be caused by a lack of the Accept header.

What does the script do? What error do you get?

It generates user stats like this: https://github.com/ctlaltdieliet/mattermost-i18n-scoreboard/blob/main/pages/previous_month_top_contributors.md
It fetches all users, and their stats and calculates these numbers
You can find the scripts here https://github.com/ctlaltdieliet/mattermost-i18n-scoreboard/

The weird thing is. this script ran for years and stopped working November 1st. The weeks before, it was a bit unstable and I had to ran the script manually sometimes.
As we both are not finding the cause, I think of moving forward and rewriting it. But I'm still open to search the cause and help others who might have/come in the same situation

I've slightly tweaked Anubis's configuration. Can you please retry if anything has changed?

Thank you for the effort but still the same result

..what turned out to be configuration issue on our side, should be fixed now.

It started with writing software for making translations easier, and now you have to be an expert in bot-detection. 😄 So, please, don't be too hard on yourself. 🤗 You did find the cause! 💪
