panda-novel suddenly not working

[michaelnyc17]

It was working perfectly this morning but when I tried to use it in the evening, it didn't work and said

"Error: Fetch of URL 'https://www.panda-novel.com/api/book/chapters/1461/1' failed with network error 403. at FetchErrorHandler.onResponseError (chrome-extension://akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm/js/HttpClient.js:32:25) at HttpClient.checkResponseAndGetData (chrome-extension://akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm/js/HttpClient.js:166:45) at chrome-extension://akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm/js/HttpClient.js:160:31 at async PandaNovelParser.getChapterUrls (chrome-extension://akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm/js/parsers/PandaNovelParser.js:16:32)"

Here is an example : https://www.panda-novel.com/details/sin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation(AN)-1456

I also have this error :

Error: Fetch of URL 'https://www.panda-novel.com/api/book/chapters/1456/1' failed with network error 403. at FetchErrorHandler.onResponseError (chrome-extension://lbndbabjdeplnacojalgijcgejdmiaha/js/HttpClient.js:32:25) at HttpClient.checkResponseAndGetData (chrome-extension://lbndbabjdeplnacojalgijcgejdmiaha/js/HttpClient.js:166:45) at chrome-extension://lbndbabjdeplnacojalgijcgejdmiaha/js/HttpClient.js:160:31 at async PandaNovelParser.getChapterUrls (chrome-extension://lbndbabjdeplnacojalgijcgejdmiaha/js/parsers/PandaNovelParser.js:16:32)

Thank you very much ! :)

@Flwk @Displayeddd I just tried https://www.panda-novel.com/details/sin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation(AN)-1456, and it worked for me.

Note that error 403 is "Forbidden".

the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it.

I usually see this in one of 2 cases.

1. You're trying to fetch paid content, and you haven't paid.
2. Site has decided you're a bot, and is denying access. Usually for one of 2 reasons. 2.1 You've been downloading too much, too fast and the site is suspicious, or 2.2 Site has changed its logic and it now recognizes WebToEpub.

As it's not 1 for that link, and I can download content, it's probably not 2.2 (although they might be in process of rolling out 2.2, and I just haven't run into it yet.)

Things to try.

1. Can you view the chapter normally in the web browser? If not, it's probably 2.1. If a CAPTCHA appears and you solve it, things might work again
2. Wait a week for your ISP to change your IP, or site to forget you.

It seems to be working again for me. I think it was 2.1.

@dteviot, attaching the fix https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub/issues/784#issuecomment-1207467818

After replacing the parser PandaNovelParser.js with my fix, it working for me. Sample Novel: https://www.panda-novel.com/details/my-three-wives-are-beautiful-vampires-(RRN)-1107

Now it is back to not working again except differently this time.
