Data downloads block access from GitHub Issues

[dhimmel]

Downloading https://tiles.skimap.org/geojson/runs.geojson works fine for me locally (via a python requests.get query), but the same query fails on GitHub Actions with:

HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: 
https://tiles.skimap.org/geojson/runs.geojson

I am looking to update my project on a scheduled basis, such that I would do weekly or monthly downloads of the OpenSkiMap data resources. These would be scheduled or adhoc, but not on a per-commit / CI basis.

I imagine there might be some IP filters to try to reduce excessive bandwidth consumption. Not sure if @russellporter you control them.

Wanted to get your initial feedback on whether restrictions could be lifted or any sort of authorization is possible?

runs.geojson is quite large at 911 MB, although XZ compression reduces this to 96 MB. #137 could reduce the file size even more. So possibly other approaches to reduce storage and bandwidth costs.

Hi, thanks for reporting this, this usage sounds reasonable to me, the block was not intended.

I've made some updates to the traffic filtering and shifted the domain so the new endpoint is https://tiles.openskimap.org/geojson/runs.geojson

Can you check if the issue is resolved?

[dhimmel]

Issue is resolved as per this run.

Thanks!
