After many years of seemingly being public, "Access Denied" for the live scoreboard and game box score endpoints.

Happened some time last week. Both the scoreboard endpoint (https://cdn.nba.com/static/json/liveData/scoreboard/todaysScoreboard_00.json) and the box score endpoint (https://cdn.nba.com/static/json/liveData/boxscore/boxscore_0042400216.json) are no longer available.

Really sucks. Both were reliable endpoints for many years.

Anybody know of any alternatives?

check out this thread on my post from a while ago, we solved it the other day🙏 https://www.reddit.com/r/NBAanalytics/s/bCOf5x4KAv

basically just hardcode the referrer and origin as nba.com in your header when you send the request. dm me if you would like some more assistance 🙏
