NHL API blocked
I run a small league with automatic stats download from the EA site. Admittedly, I was polling the EA API every 5 minutes between 9 and 11pm. I've turned that down to 20 minutes. But, as of last night, I am unable to pull information from the server as Akamai is blocking my attempts. Can Aljo or anyone else assist?
