HTTPError 302 after regular translation

[kalpak44]

After a few successful translates start to fail with warnings:
node index.js { HTTPError at translate (C:\Users\User\Desktop\node_test\node_modules\@k3rn31p4nic\google-translate-api\src\index.js:143:19) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7) name: 'HTTPError', statusCode: 302, statusMessage: 'Found' }

index.js:

translate(articleRU, { from: 'ru', to: 'bg' }).then(res => { console.log(res.text); }).catch(err => { console.error(err); });

Are you still getting the error?

I ran into the same issue while using this for a live translator that I implemented into my Discord bot

Can you give a minimal reproducible example?

[kalpak44]

I did not watch the implementation, but the requests themselves towards Google translator are banned with frequent use. The first several times is ok, after several times start to throw different errors or res.text is empty string

In case like this

function index(){
	var things = ['Rock', 'Paper', 'Scissor', 'Apple', 'Appearance', 'Announce'];
	var thing = things[Math.floor(Math.random()*things.length)];
	console.log("original: " + thing)
	translate(thing, { from: 'en', to: 'bg' }).then(res => {
		  console.log("translated: " + res.text)
		}).catch(err => {
		  console.error(err);
	});
	setTimeout(index, 5000);
}

index()

there throws something like:

{ HTTPError
    at translate (C:\Users\User\Desktop\node_test\node_modules\@k3rn31p4nic\google-translate-api\src\index.js:143:8)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)
  name: 'HTTPError',
  statusCode: 429,
  statusMessage: 'Too Many Requests' }

If text is longer then error is another:

{ HTTPError
    at translate (C:\Users\User\Desktop\node_test\node_modules\@k3rn31p4nic\google-translate-api\src\index.js:143:8)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7) name: 'HTTPError', statusCode: 302, statusMessage: 'Found' }

Do you know how often you can make requests without errors?

[cheesits456]

Hmm I've been looking into this problem and it seems to be pretty common - from what I've gathered so far, it seems the only way to get around the errors is either to slow down your requests, or use proxies so you don't get ratelimmited by Google

Do you know how often you can make requests without errors?

Nope. As this isn't an official API, we don't know about their rate limits.

If text is longer then error is another

How long of a text are you trying to send?

Closing it as it has become stale. Feel free to reopen if you're still facing the issue and have reproduction steps.
