[SOLVED] Wikimedia Maps Layer (open street maps) getting 429 error (trouble connecting to ssl with wget)

Wikimedia Maps Layer (open street maps) getting 429 error (trouble connecting to ssl with wget)

Trying to trace down why The wikimedia map layer is down, wondering if anyone has heard anything. Google wasn't very helpful

This has been broken since at least yesterday for our maps : https://maps.wikimedia.org/osm-intl/{z}/{x}/{y}{r}.png

The site is up, trying to find out if they changed how the layers were pulled?

https://maps.wikimedia.org/#4/40.75/-73.96

I used wget and getting this

Resolving maps.wikimedia.org... 208.80.154.240
Connecting to maps.wikimedia.org|208.80.154.240|:443... connected.

Solution

~~It does seem as if your apllication does not support modern TLS protocols but tries to connect with the really old TLS 1.0 that is not supported anymore by wikimedia maps.~~

~~Upgrade your TLS to version 1.2 and you should be fine.~~

Edit: wikimedia now blocks map access for external users. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T245145#5880898

I don't understand why this produces a TLS error, but the likely reason for your problems is the 429 http error code because of wikimedias blocking external projects. You'll need a different tile provider.
