WSJ new Json format from 1/18/23? #93

Closed mixographer closed 1 year ago

I'm wondering if WSJ changed their format. I'm getting JSON errors on any WSJ puzzle now. (although I did break my python environment pretty badly yesterday, so it could be me.)

Close: they changed their URL structure a little bit, so xword-dl is grabbing an empty file and throwing a JSON error. I've got a fix in the dev branch (which you can install right now if you like), and I'll be shipping a release very shortly.

Thanks. I see the fix.

Looks like they (at least temporarily) switched back to the old URL format. A new release today accommodates both styles!
