We sometimes use your locality endpoint to add coordinates to our specimen information.

We made a small service which collects information from the specimen, calls the Mindat API and adds the possible result to the specimen information.

The tool is in piloting phase, so we do a couple each month and maybe a bit more when we test, but we try to keep the calls to a minimum.

However, we noticed that when we run the tool on the server, we get a 403 Forbidden response.
Locally, from which we most calls, it works fine, so I don't expect it to be rate related.

I also tested this from another server, from which we have never done any calls, and it also returned a 403, however a third server gave back a 200.

We were wondering if there is any explanation why some servers give us a positive response while other give a 403 all with the same request and the same token?
The servers with which we tested were either our local machines or AWS servers which we run from in eu-west-2.

Any help or explanation will be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Sam
