UK, Central Bedfordshire not working ?

[royhuntley]

Hi, Trying LU7 3UU and 4 Saturn Close for parameters but get this...

The source returned an invalid response: "403 Forbidden - Central Bedfordshire Council is blocking requests. Try again later or check if your IP is temporarily banned. Error: 403 Forbidden - IP may be temporarily blocked". Please check the provided arguments and try again.

However, I can access the website itself directly in the browser with that information.

The site is protected by bot / WAF rules (not just headers)

Central Bedfordshire uses a web application firewall (WAF) layered on top of their CMS (Granicus / GovDelivery–style stack). These systems look at:

Request sequence

Form tokens / state

Cookies

JavaScript execution

POST payload validity

Timing + behaviour
