Dear user,

We had to take measures due to misuse of the services and filter out some ranges of IP.
The two IPs I see in your screenshot were not affected. Maybe you used another IP.
Please contact us at patentdata@epo.org.

You should only use "EPO portal with credentials" for production.
The other area is only for testing and is very restricted.

Kind regards,
OPS support

Hi
I don't know why curl retunr this ips.

Any ip is own IP.

Code: Select all

curl ipinfo.io/ip
52.211.240.1XX
I think that curl response not return REAL IP. Return a FORWARDER IP.

Local ip is a 172.31.46.XXX not public IP.

Hi,

Sorry for late reply, but there were holidays in Austria this week.

We have issues in POST which will only be fixed with the next maintenance release planed in September. Please use POST in 3.1 in the meantime.

We are sorry not to be of help at this point, but version 3.1 should work properly.

Regards,
OPS support
