Availibity declined next chapter #9

Closed dolohow closed 1 year ago

So I've been using this on daily basis

Recently, they introduced check for User-Agent header. It was an easy fix, obviously.

However, today they rolled an update that requires running JavaScript in order to set cookies. I already have a code that is using playwright to fire up headless browser.

Would you be willing to accept it? Should I prepare PR?

Hi,

I'd rather not try to actively circumvent any of these kinds of checks or protections as part of this library.

My ultimate intention was to allow users to make use of APIs that were readily accessible without requiring any kind of spoofing on our part.

Clearly, they've decided they don't want people directly accessing the availablity API, and it's not my intention to try circumvent this decision. They likely have their reasons, and I respect that.

With this in mind, I will likely, regrettably, remove the availablity API endpoints from the library in the next major release.
