API calls from PHP returning 403 Forbidden

[driderdesigns]

PHP calls to the player API are now returning http 403. The same URL is returning just fine in the browser. First noticed around 20 Apr, was working fine before this. Possibly related to #709

PHP Code that used to work used is included below, along with the URL I'm using (my Player ID). I tried a few different methods, all returned 403.

function getTestData()
{
    // FAILS
    $url = "https://swgoh.gg/api/player/838822353/";

    // WORKS
    //$url = "https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&chl=Hello|World&chof=json";

    $json = file_get_contents($url);

    // Some online comments indicate possible missing UserAgent being the cause

    /*  Tried setting User Agent in ini
        ini_set( 'user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36' );
        $json = file_get_contents($url);
    */

    /* Tried setting UA in context
        $opts = array(
            'http'=>array(
                'user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36',
                'method'=>"GET",
                'header'=> implode("\r\n", array('Content-type: text/plain;'))
            )
        );
        $context = stream_context_create($opts);
        $json = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
    */

    // Also tried fopen
    // $json=fopen($url,"rb");

    echo $json;
}

Can you provide the link to the discord server for swgoh.gg? For some reason, I can't find it. Thank you. @scobenes

Awesome. Thank you very much

The site I'm using the API with is https://swgoh.driderdesigns.com. Just a small tracker to help show me what I'm missing, a GL farming summary, and a meta teams list. I think the github repo is public, but if not and you need to see it, just let me know.

https://swgoh.driderdesigns.com/roster/838822353 is my current page, hard-coded at the moment.

I got on the discord, and found the announcement. They just changed the api url. Instead swgoh.gg/api/, it's now api.swogh.gg. Don't need that /api neither.
