Hi there,
Since around March this year [1], Overpass API refuses to handle duplicate queries originating from the same IP within a short time span.
In that case, the content type of the response is text/html; charset=utf-8, with content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" lang="en"/>
<title>OSM3S Response</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The data included in this document is from www.openstreetmap.org. The data is made available under ODbL.</p>
<p><strong style="color:#FF0000">Error</strong>: runtime error: open64: 0 Success /osm3s_osm_base Dispatcher_Client::request_read_and_idx::duplicate_query </p>
</body>
</html>
API.get() does not check for text/html and tries to parse the response as JSON, which fails:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is on python 3.11 with overpass==0.7.2.
