429 Too Many Requests - getting packets from npmjs.org is getting blocked

[Bersaelor]

So, during our deployment workflow we need to install babel-cli to be able to run yarn compile.

Now npmjs.org seems to block the circleci IP address with errorcode 429, which as far as I understand is due to DDOS prevention on npmjs side?

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
yarn install
cd node_modules/dxf
npm install babel-cli
yarn compile
cd ../..
yarn install v1.21.1

success Already up-to-date.

PS: 5 days ago, the same script worked perfectly. We’re not using this workflow more then once per week. I’m assuming some GET quota on npmjs.org has been hit in the meantime by other workflows running on circleci machines?

I’m having the same issue during the npm install part of the Circleci build

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
npm install
