Requests to WooCommerce API on a simply.com hosted webshop is caught and returns:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" class="errorpage">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>455 Security Incident Detected</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <link href="//splash.simply.com/errorpage.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

<body>
    <h1>455 Security Incident Detected</h1>
    <p>Your request was blocked. Do not retry.</p>

    <h3>If you are the owner of the website</h3>
    <p>The Website Application Firewall protecting your site blocked this request as unwanted.</p>
    <p>Details can be found in the webserver logs, within your Control Panel.</p>

    <p>Please do not use AI to try and reason why this happened, look in your Control Panel for the actual cause.</p>
</body>

</html>

Trying the same API call in Postman returns the same error when User-Agent header is omitted.
WITH http header "User-Agent" set it returns the expected data.
