IMDB returns a "> 202: Accepted" error

Following very helpful advice on this forum, I developed a script to extract information from IMDB and create tags for my movie files. This worked well until a couple of weeks ago when I started to get a “> 202: Accepted” error message when I executed the script (Windows x64 versions 3.33.1 and 3.34). The research I did suggested that IMDB had blacklisted my IP address because of volume of use (the protracted development process must have made many hits on their website). Curious thing is that the “Preview” button uses the same URL without any problem (displays the correct page in Chrome) and when I connected my laptop using different WiFi, I got the same result.

Any ideas?

202 is a typical I got your order check back later code. It may require some callback or other asynchronous procedure or simply a new request.

If you are blocked or blacklisted it will almost always be a 4xx or 5xx code.
