EASHL API Disabled?

Is the EASHL API disabled temporarily or permanently? I am receiving an "Acess Denied" error when attempting to run the following command (which has been working for the past two years): curl --refe...

    Seems like the curl command needs a few non-default header values since the change.

    I'm having success adding the following values:

    Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5

    User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

    Connection: keep-alive

    Example using OPs example as a building block:

    curl --referer www.ea.com "https://proclubs.ea.com/api/nhl/members/stats?clubId=76815&platform=ps4" -H "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5" -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0" -H "Connection: keep-alive"

Awesome, thanks for finding a solution! Is this a standard curl template that you tried and happened to work, or were you able to determine the solution from the error message after attempting the command in my OP?

    @Georgeandpfunk Ended up being a bit of trial and error actually. Command-line curl was hanging indefinitely for me, but like you I was able to get the data via a web browser.

    From there I just started looking at the header values the browser was sending in the request and seeing how that differed from what curl was doing. End up narrowing it down to the three header values.

      @PlayoffError it works locally but when i upload it to the server i get an error. I think they need to approve our IP address...

        @lounatic99 It seems unlikely they're maintaining a whitelist of IP addresses ( I know mine wouldn't be on such a list ).

        What error are you getting on your server? Do you have access to the server? If so, try running curl with the -v parameter to get more detailed output.
