Access Denied when trying to automate nseindia.com for UiPath practice

Hello everyone,

I am currently practicing UiPath web automation and following a training/exercise that requires visiting the website https://www.nseindia.com.

However, when I try to access the site (both manually in the browser and through UiPath using Use Application/Browser), I consistently receive an “Access Denied” message. The page indicates that I do not have permission to access the website and references an edgesuite / Akamai security error.
Any clarification or recommended workaround would be appreciated.

That site works fine for me so you must have an issue on your computer. It’s not a UiPath issue.

It is because the site is activity detecting bots and blocking them. Make sure you are automating the websites which are allowing automations.

It might be the case your IP could have been blocked due to non permitted usage.

Hi @oussama_raji

I am able to access this site.

By any chance, are you trying it from your office laptop, there may be a chance certain sites are blocked on that as part of security practices of an organization.

I would suggest to try the site from some other machine and see, it should work.

If you are having the issue in Studio Web, most likely is due to the region of your Cloud Tenant which is blocked by the https://www.nseindia.com/

To replicate in your machine, try to use a VPN and use the same region as your Orchestrator tenant and access that site in browser.

To solve the issue, create a tenant in the region that doesn’t have that issue, or run the automation locally in a not impacted robot VM.
