Apple iCloud is temporary refusing to serve icloudpd

[EttVenter]

I'm getting this error when I run it. Any ideas?

Sorry to hear you are having this trouble.
It is working for me, both with a pre-authenticated session, and with clear cookies directory (i.e with MFA).

Same here, it seems some kind of rate limiting of the Apple servers...

Yup, I'm getting the same now (503 Service Temporarily Unavailable). I hope this is not the end of being able to use the APIs to download photos from iCloud. Ugh...

Yeah, since two days I keep getting this error - listing albums works, fetching pictures always fails. Kinda steers me towards investingating this and fixing myself (if possible) ;)

Actually, I figured out I was using an old version. It's working fine with the newest version. If you are running a version older than 1.24.0, you would get 503 errors because Apple no longer accepts the legacy raw password authentication (they use SRP). The fallback to raw password auth was removed entirely in 1.29.4, I assume Apple fully discontinued support for the old method.

Wait, it just started working for me too. I don't know if I updated it and didn't run it again, but I don't remember updating it. Just tried to run it now and it's working perfectly. So happy about that. Thanks for the support and replies, guys
