Problems with getting data from Poloniex

[WW-build]

Hi, after starting parser it can't get data from Poloniex:

Error getting JSON response from https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnTicker SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 at JSON.parse () at Request._callback (/opt/arbitrage/main.js:41:33) at Request.self.callback (/opt/arbitrage/node_modules/request/request.js:186:22) at Request.emit (events.js:159:13) at Request.

Getting data from other markets working fine.

I usually get this error when an exchange's API is down or offline. If it is operational then poloniex probably has a new endpoint.

I have the same issue. It seems Poloniex has a security check (One More Step) which returns a HTML instead a string in JSON format.
