node-craigslist Search Example returning an Error: maximum redirect limit exceeded

Running the #search example in the README returns an error for too many redirects. Tried adjusting the city and the search query but the redirect limit error is always returned.

reproduced in node versions: v15.12.0 v14.16.0

var
  craigslist = require('node-craigslist'),
  client = new craigslist.Client({
    city : 'seattle'
  });

client
  .search('xbox one')
  .then((listings) => {
    // play with listings here...
    listings.forEach((listing) => console.log(listing));
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
  });

throws:
