Navigate to [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/amazon/aws/?version=7.5.0) Click download tarball button. Ansible Galaxy redirects to [https://ansible-galaxy-ng.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/artifact/7b/59341aa3790c7e1ac7a8c590a5e2c0a5ff7bdafec7b6224bbdc3104f05677f?response-content-disposition=attachment%3Bfilename%3Damazon-aws-7.5.0.tar.gz](https://ansible-galaxy-ng.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/artifact/7b/59341aa3790c7e1ac7a8c590a5e2c0a5ff7bdafec7b6224bbdc3104f05677f?response-content-disposition=attachment%3Bfilename%3Damazon-aws-7.5.0.tar.gz) ```auto InvalidAccessKeyId The AWS Access Key Id you provided does not exist in our records.

Hello here, we’re getting today _ERROR! Failed to download collection tar from ‘default’: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden_ Is it related to your errors or does Ansible Galaxy require a Login now? Thank you ---

Same. Ansible Galaxy downloads appear to be entirely broken ATM. ```auto ansible-galaxy collection install community.general Starting galaxy collection install process Process install dependency map Starting collection install process Downloading https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/v3/plugin/ansible/content/published/collections/artifacts/community-general-9.1.0.tar.gz to /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-54yfkgv2sy/tmpsvjdcz2a/community-general-9.1.0-s2jq6ldk ERROR!

This is the same error manifesting through ansible-galaxy cli. afaik Galaxy does not/will not require a login. This is an issue upstream with the Ansible Galaxy server. ---

Yeah, something seems to be broken right now. Neither downloading directly nor installing via `ansible-galaxy collection install` seems to be working since at least 30 minutes. [@galaxy](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/galaxy) are you aware of this? ---

Is there a workaround? ---

The only workaround would be updating your requirements yaml or commandline to pull directly from github ---

Confirmed that updated requirements files to pull from git works as a workaround. See: [Installing collections — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections_guide/collections_installing.html#install-multiple-collections-with-a-requirements-file) ---
