Research direction

Start by reproducing vt ip 8.8.8.8 with an exhausted API key and inspect how the CLI handles the quota-exceeded response before gzip processing. Compare the behavior with a key that has quota remaining. Done means quota exhaustion produces a clear CLI error instead of gzip: invalid header.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If my search quote is exceeded, vt-cli gives this error:

$ vt ip 8.8.8.8
gzip: invalid header

Switching to another API-key with quota left works properly.

That was probably also the issue in https://github.com/VirusTotal/vt-cli/issues/51
