Status code [202] Error

[kihanb]

Hi,
Since yesterday, I’ve been consistently receiving a Status Code [202] error whenever I try to fetch title information or perform searches. I’ve also attempted to use different user agents such as Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html), Twitterbot/0.1, and TelegramBot (like TwitterBot) but none of these have resolved the problem.

Does anyone have idea how to fix this?

Hi,

I've implemented a fix for this. The 202 status is caused by AWS WAF challenges that IMDB recently started enforcing. My PR adds an automatic challenge solver that handles this transparently:

#348

Until it gets merged, you can use my repository:

I can confirm that https://github.com/mam4dali/imdbphp/tree/dev solves the 202 Error

Unfortunately, the AWS JS challenge has been updated, and this method no longer works. I recommend using the following project: https://github.com/mam4dali/aws-challenge-bypass in combination with the imdbsite field in the config: https://github.com/tboothman/imdbphp/blob/master/conf/900_localconf.sample
