Matchlist not retrievable

[gwynethyuen]

I am getting a 403 Client Error when I try to get the match list of a specific user. I did see the closed issue (#36), however, all the other information is retrievable, but it's just the match list that throws the error. I can search the skins, print out the other attributes with an AccountDTO (gameName, puuid, tagLine), just the match list fails.

Code:

import valorant

KEY = "my key"
client = valorant.Client(KEY, locale=None)

# print the skin collection typed in by user
skins = client.get_skins()
name = input("Search a Valorant Skin Collection: ")
results = skins.find_all(name=lambda x: name.lower() in x.lower())
print("\nResults: ")
for skin in results:
    print(f"\t{skin.name.ljust(21)} ({skin.localizedNames['ja-JP']})")

# get viper object
agents = client.get_characters()
print(agents.get("Viper"))
print()

# try to get account matchlist
acc = client.get_user_by_name(name="BabyJ#Halo", route='americas')
print("ACCOUNT ATTRIBUTES")
print(acc.gameName, acc.puuid, acc.tagLine)
print()
matches = acc.matchlist()

Output:

Thanks for reporting @gwynethyuen, I'll take a look by tomorrow, I'm currently busy right now. Sorry

Does the development key no longer give matchlist access?

The development key never gave matchlist access

@gwynethyuen You are getting a 403 because a player's match history is unavailable without an approved API key/app.
