Summary

I use the following to fetch league info and it recently stopped working only on the current season (2025)

I am using Python 3.11.4 and espn-api 0.40.1. I am still able to use this code for years 2010-2024.

# Read in environment variables
import os

# Read in the environment variables
league_id = os.environ['LEAGUE_ID']
swid = os.environ['SWID']
espn_s2 = os.environ['ESPN_S2']

from espn_api.basketball import League as bball_league
league = bball_league(league_id, 2025, espn_s2, swid)

I get the following error

{
	"name": "KeyError",
	"message": "'stats'",
