You would have to contact Wikimedia's Site Reliability Engineering team with a
request like this. Your best way forward is probably to file a task in Phabricator
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/>> and
tag it with #Operations.

Hello,
in 2016 I wrote a small Android app, that is making use of the Wikipedia ActionApi to
search for articles at the current location of a user.
Due to legal considerations I am currently trying to take down the app.
It’s not available any more in the Google PlayStore, but there are still installations
out there.
That’s why I want to make these installations unusable by deactivating all backend
services, that the app is using.
Unfortunately the app is (partially) directly communicating with wikipedia servers and
not via a proxy under my control.
The app sends a special User-Agent HTTP header with every request to identify itself:
tagorama/v1.0.0.283-release (
http://tagorama.rocks/ <http://tagorama.rocks/>;
info(a)tagorama.rocks <mailto:info@tagorama.rocks>)
Is there any way for you to block requests from this app?
Who would I contact?
Thanks for your help,
Frank Wunderlich
