Cannot load DAI contract on avalanche:mainnet

MRE:

from ape import networks, Contract

with networks.avalanche.mainnet.use_provider("node") as provider:
    dai_contract = Contract('0xd586e7f844cea2f87f50152665bcbc2c279d8d70')
    pass

Output:

I stepped into the code and noticed that the Etherscan object has attribute etherscan_api_uri ='https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=43114'.

Shouldn't the API URL be snowtrace, which states that the API does not require a key?
