Unable to retrieve marketplace add-ons (most of the time)

When I try to browse the community Marketplace widgets then in almost all cases it results in an error.

Unable to retrieve marketplace add-ons: Server returned HTTP response code: 429 for URL: Add-on Marketplace - openHAB Community

When I am lucky then I can access the widgets and install one, but if I try to install a 2nd one right after then the list is gone again. Accessing the widgets page with a browser is never a problem.

Running openHAB 5.2.0.M5 but I encountered this issue also in previous builds.

My openHAB runs in a Proxmox LXC container

429 means “too many requests” so for some reason the forum software thinks too many requests are comming from your IP. Are you perhaps behind a CGNAT? There might be many openHAB users comming from the same IP.

There was a time a few months ago where this was a persistent problem for many users but changes were made and we haven’t heard of many users with this same problem recently.

Hi Rich,

I am indeed behind a CG-NAT (Deutsche Glasfaser) and I read the post about this issue that should be fixed in one of the earlier milestone builds. I recently moved from Windows to linux with openHab and also wanted to switch to main UI instead of Sitemaps. The default widgets are a bit limited, so I wanted to try the community widgets, but like I said, it seldomly works for me. I know I can copy the code, but this is not very convenient.

Thank you for your help!

Peter
