Hi, as of about 18 Sept we receive this following error message when retrieving data via the swop.cx API:

Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.

504 Gatewa (right here) ------^ Code has been running for ~2 years without issues so unsure if something changed on the API side ? Any help will be appreciated.
