#12621 Info links in koji are forbidden
Closed: Fixed with Explanation by kevin. Opened by jtornosm.

We have discovered that the info links in koji are forbidden.
For example for this iw package generated:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2715648
info links are forbidden:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=42825927
...
Is there any reason behind this?
If not, could it be fixed?
Thank you


Thank you for reaching out.

We had to temporarily block access to certain Koji endpoints, including rpminfo, due to extremely high load caused by AI scrapers. This traffic was making the Koji system unstable.

In particular, the rpminfo endpoint is very resource-intensive, as it requires accessing RPM files directly from the NFS share rather than serving data purely from the database. This introduces a significant bottleneck and impacts the performance and reliability of the entire Koji infrastructure.

We are actively exploring alternative solutions to mitigate scraping impact and ensure stability. Our goal is to re-enable access to rpminfo once we have safeguards in place.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I have unblocked it, will watch it this afternoon... we may have to block it again though.

So far it looks ok... if we need to block things again I'll try and update here.
