> @awais_techloyce123 Ah. Okay, there are several things wrong here: You are sending your API requests to the WEBSITE. Your authorisation header is wrong. First, do not be confused that the URLs look similar for the API and the website. The API will return data encoded as JSON. The Website will of course return HTML, plus, if you scrape the website, you’ll no doubt have your IP blocked by our access control infrastructure… Your problem stems from you not authenticating properly, hence the HTT…

Regards.
