IGDB API

that's weird.  I get this:

Access denied to https://api.igdb.com/v4/games.

Same message I got yesterday.  This is with 4.1.4.  I'm working with a 
large catalog that I've customized a good bit, but I can't think of 
anything that'd affect the data source in that way.  I tried looking for 
any debug options that may give me some clue, but running with --log 
just shows this for my search:

[19:13:51] Starting search - source: "Internet Game Database (IGDB.com)" 
value: "final fantasy ix" key: 5
[19:13:51] Search done - source: "Internet Game Database (IGDB.com)"

Which isn't a whole lot of help.  Any ideas why I may be seeing 
different behavior?  or how I can better troubleshoot this?  Would love 
for it to just work like you describe.
