No longer working? #4

Hey so I did extensive testing on a few devices and the API no longer finds professors for me anymore. I thought it was an IP blocking issue maybe but tried different networks and no luck.

Hey @Ozeitis, You are correct. I just tested it and upon closer look at the website code I believe it is because they have changed the way they have formatted their queries, which results in the entire API being broken. I will have to look at it after finals; alternatively, you can also look at it.

The problem is with professorquery.json. Other .json files may be affected, but as of now I cannot isolate the issue.

Your pull request should've fixed the issue, can you confirm?

I am using this myself and can confirm it does fix the issue :). No problems yet. I use this often so I will report if I find any.
