Hello everybody. We started getting this response from Google API today for a workflow around creating files on google drive:
We’re sorry… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.
Anyone knows what might be the issue?

Poking around with editing it, it seems like the login is still active and correctly returns the spreadsheet and stuff

Interesting. And is that using the Pipedream OAuth client, or your own?

It started happening this morning, with no changes to the pipedream workflow at all

Thanks, looking.

awesome, thanks!

More info: It happened from the very first attempt, not after we spammed it a bunch.

Noted, thanks.

Hm, I’m seeing the same thing on my end with that action. @U03EGTE5WC8 have you guys run into this before? I wonder if it’s hitting a deprecated endpoint or something?

15

Good to know it seems global I guess

16

(from my pov, not for you obviously :P)

17

Yea, that’s a strange error… Google thinks it’s automated… and it’s an API request, so of course it is…

18

right

19

When I googled it earlier there was a stackoverflow thing from 2022 about some change to the API’s auth headers or the likes

I wonder if it just moved from deprecated to not working maybe
