Duolingo points_rank no longer available

Since 2021-12-04 I received error messages triggered by missing points_rank. Is it possible Duolingo changed its API?

My temporary (?) solution was to remove all references to points_rank in my code, download the duolingo.py from this repository and remove the one reference to points_rank in the function get_language_progress(self, lang).

Current code:

fields = ['streak', 'language_string', 'level_progress',
     'num_skills_learned', 'level_percent', 'level_points',
     'points_rank', 'next_level', 'level_left', 'language',
     'points', 'fluency_score', 'level']

Modified code:

fields = ['streak', 'language_string', 'level_progress',
     'num_skills_learned', 'level_percent', 'level_points',
     'next_level', 'level_left', 'language',
     'points', 'fluency_score', 'level']

As I didn't do anything with points_rank apart from storing it in a database, that was all it took to get my app up and running again.

I'm having a similar issue with the points_ranking_data key (likely due to the same change). Minimal example of this failing:

import time
from duolingo import Duolingo
from secret import duolingo_password, duolingo_username

duolingo = Duolingo(duolingo_username, duolingo_password)
query_results = duolingo.get_leaderboard('week', time.time())
