[Luis-manzur]

if I try to access the resource we are scraping, I'm getting 403 (I don't know if they're recognizing that I'm using a VPN)

And I don't see anything in the home page that list opinions

the thing I'm missing is ... Why is the scraper getting a SSL error?

@flooie

[flooie]

looks like it just gets blocked - we should check if this is temporary or intermittent @Luis-manzur

[Luis-manzur]

I think they are working in a new page for opinions or something...

all the media we have scraped before this issue is not accesible any more, for example. if you try to download the pdf from the court, a 404 page will pop up.

And I don't see anything in the home page that list opinions

and this

[flooie]

We have a temp work around lets keep an eye on this but for now we are good
