Shopping API (Ip Address Limited But Never Used Api Ever)

I am experiencing an issue with the eBay API where I receive the following error message when trying to make a request:

 

json
CopyEdit
{"Timestamp":"2025-03-08T02:53:01.025Z","Ack":"Failure","Errors":[{"ShortMessage":"IP limit exceeded.","LongMessage":"Applications from this IP address are limited in the number of calls they can make.","ErrorCode":"1.21","SeverityCode":"Error","ErrorClassification":"RequestError"}],"Build":"1299_CORE_APILW_19146596_R1","Version":"1299"}
 

This error was on my first ever API request. I have never used the eBay API before, and I have not made any previous requests. I am working from a home network where I am the only user, and I do not use a VPN or proxy.

Could you please help clarify why I am encountering this IP limit error and assist with lifting any restrictions on my IP address?

Thank you for your assistance.

I also encountered the same problem. When I registered a new account, I didn't generate a key at all, and it also prompted that the IP was restricted

Shopping API is no more.
