I think it has been 2 weeks since the API stopped working

And here I was, trying to refactor my code thinking I was doing something wrong. Well thanks for informing and do update this thread if the api is back up again. Thank you

I did some testing and concluded the problem is that HLTV is blocking all requests because of bot protection. Changing the User-Agent in the source code from node-fetch to a real User-Agent solved the issue.

Using the user-agents library to generate a User-Agent, instead of using node-fetch, might be a good solution to this.
