HTTP headers not working with rate limiting

[joshbressers]

I followed the instructions here
https://ecosyste.ms/api

And added a HTTP From header to my request

'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.32.5',
'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate',
'Accept': '*/*',
'Connection': 'keep-alive',
'From': 'me@domain'}

This results in the following returned in the 429 from Cloudflare

'Date': 'Sun, 02 Nov 2025 13:31:01 GMT',
'Content-Type': 'text/plain; charset=utf-8',
'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked',
'Connection': 'keep-alive',
'Nel': '{"report_to":"cf-nel","success_fraction":0.0,"max_age":604800}',
'x-ratelimit-limit': '5000',
'x-ratelimit-remaining': '0',
'x-ratelimit-reset': '1762092000',
'x-ratelimit-tier': 'anonymous',
'Server': 'cloudflare',
'cf-cache-status': 'BYPASS',                      

I did not try to update the user agent.

If I add mailto=you@example.com as a parameter to the API request I see I am on the "polite" tier which is what I would expect
