Others on the Discord server also encountered this problem and apparently solved it with this:

I don't really have time to look into this deeper, but if you can find a fix and want to contribute, feel free to make a PR. Otherwise you can try the workaround (although I don't really understand it 😅).

When making any request to understat.com even in a browser, the beget cookie is passed, so I don't think there is any possibility of a fix without using this.

All tests pass when adding cookies={'beget': 'begetok'} to the fetch function in utils. I think this would be a good fix for now at least.

If anyone wants to create that PR then feel free, or I can do it later this evening.

Error occurs while decoding the data.
Checking whether RegEx still filters the data correct.

Yep, adding cookies={'beget': 'begetok'} seems to fix it. Hoping they don't start changing the names of the cookies!

Great, thanks for the feedback.

Let's keep the issue open.
I will test, whether the problem can be fixed without the cookie names.
