403 Error / Deprecated on Alpha 5

The issue from #111 and #113 is back 😦

I seem to be having the same issue on 2.0.0-alpha.5

Command npx ikea-availability-checker@alpha stock --country=nl 50411990

Most countries I attempted return a probability=ERR_HTTP_403:

• no
• dk
• ch
• jp
• au
• ca
• hk
• at
• sg
• nl
• es
• fr
• be
• kw
• us
• gb
• it
• hu
• pl
• cz
• sk
• tw
• fi
• my
• cn
• pt
• ro
• ie
• th
• qa
• jo
• hr
• kr
• es

Some countries return a probability=DEPRECATED:

• se
• de

Some countries still work:

• sa
• lt

At first I thought the product might be deprecated in those countries, but that is not the case. I confirmed that the product was still in stock on their website. So is seems to be pointing to something else being deprecated.

Still this does not explain the 403 errors on the other countries.

Hopefully there is a fix. If you need me to do additional testing, I’d be happy to.

Yes I noticed that too. It’s weird though, because I would expect a client ID to be unique to each client. That does not seem to be the case. Since your code contains the same client ID as the one that I get assigned by the IKEA Netherlands website it seems they use the same client ID for entire countries.

It does seem unlikely though that the 403 are a result of rate limiting, that would mean that a whole (or multiple) country would not be able to access Ikea stock info. Will give it a try though if it happens again.

I am located in the Netherlands. But with VPN I had the same results from Germany, Belgium, Sweden and US.
