I'm getting this same 403 error after running it with cron without any issues for several months, so I know it's not the login. Something changed with the login portal, I'm guessing.

I'm getting this same 403 error after running it with cron without any issues for several months, so I know it's not the login. Something changed with the login portal, I'm guessing.

Seems to have stopped working on October 8th for me (I built a mini times scraper using your login function and my last successful stat scrape was for the 7th).

When I try putting my username/password into your site, it seems to have an issue as well.

It looks like something changed on the NYT login side for the URL we were using there. I've reproduced this issue on my end, looking into workarounds at the moment

I tweaked the user agent a bit more to match what the NYT API is expecting and this seems to be working again. I'm able to log in on my side at least after a fresh pull. @kyledeanreinford pull the latest and give it a shot!

Works for me too! Appreciate it Matt.
