What is the problem?
If my IP is globally blocked and I attempt to edit via the API anonymously, the error message I see is:
Without IP Masking:
{
"error": {
"code": "globalblocking-blockedtext-range",
"info": "'''Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis.''' The block was made by [[User:Admin|Admin]]. The reason given is Foobar. * Start of block: 08:11, 21 August 2023 * Expiration of block: infinite You can contact [[User:Admin|Admin]] to discuss the block. You cannot use the \"Email this user\" feature unless a valid email address is specified in your [[Special:Preferences|account preferences]] and you have not been blocked from using it.

...I don't know why there would be a difference.
