Has #Worldcat fully retreated behind log-in with user accounts? Trying to access titles by their #OCLC ID from our institutional IP range at HU Berlin, I get the following response:
```

In a similar vein, I get a 403 forbidden error trying to access #Zenodo, which explicitly states that
>Access to this resource has been blocked due to unusual traffic from your network.
Fuck you, AI scrapers!!!!
EDIT: it appears that #Zenodo isn't actually blocking IPs! Instead they block particular agent strings. Moving from a privacy-minded browser such as #LibreOffice to Safari, I can access Zenodo. This also warants an expletive in my book!

Attached: 1 image PSA: If Zenodo.org currently blocks you "due to unusual traffic from your network", it's not actually the network that it at fault. Instead, it seems that they check whether the Chrome version in the user agent string is >143. If not, you get this error message. Solution: upgrade browser. #zenodo
