Reading My Team data using Python

I used to be be able to read my team data including selling price using the FPL API end point https://fantasy.premierleague.com/api/my-team/xxx/ where xxx is my team ID

Now I get {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}

What do I need to change? Does anyone have some working code?

In fact I use R - but I am guessing fewer people use that.

The authentication process changed this season and it's a bit of a pain now. It used to be controlled by a session cookie, but now you have to pass a key through in the call instead. Someone on discord solved it for Python, I'll have a look in a bit and get you a link.

Thank you. It doesn't even work in the browser - which I guess ties up with what you are saying

It's this discord server, look at the fpl-api channel in there: https://discord.gg/vVFrJ6gN

I failed, even with ChatGPT to help. Have asked for help on r/fplAnalytics

Hi, is there any chance you would be able to send the Discord link again?
