I am trying to query the hgmd (http://www.hgmd.org/) with 9,000 genes with the public access.
Due to the number of the genes, I write a Python script to do it in batch instead of query the genes one after one. The script works at first for the first few thousands of the genes, but it stops working properly. I try to log in manually then, and get the following msg,
We are sorry, but (my email address) has not been recognised as belonging to a registered user. Please check that you have entered your details correctly and remember that access is granted to registered academic or non-profit HGMD users only.
It seems that the server blocks the user from querying the database in batch. I wonder whether there is another way to do it. Thanks.
I would suggest that you write to the HGMD folks. My guess is that you got yourself banned for querying their website in such a programmatic manner.
