Hidden API errors

[dksentencingstats]

Did something change? I've been running Juriscraper hidden API script via python for some time and it's been very consistent. Recently we are seeing many errors where cases are just not found, even though the district and docket no. are correct. We are also seeing cases that are sealed but do have judge initials return 'no data returned', even though the initials are clearly available:

Examples:

Processing district: nced, docket_number: 5:22-cr-1085
API URL: https://ecf.nced.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?docket_number=5%3A22-cr-1085
2025-02-24 09:35:35,682 - pacer_logger - WARNING - No data returned for district: nced, docket_number: 5:22-cr-1085
2025-02-24 09:35:35,682 - pacer_logger - WARNING - No result for row: {'docket_number': '5:22-cr-1085', 'district': 'nced'}

Processing district: vaed, docket_number: 2:20-cr-382
API URL: https://ecf.vaed.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?docket_number=2%3A20-cr-382
2025-02-24 09:39:20,619 - pacer_logger - WARNING - No data returned for district: vaed, docket_number: 2:20-cr-382
2025-02-24 09:39:20,620 - pacer_logger - WARNING - No result for row: {'docket_number': '2:20-cr-382', 'district': 'vaed'}

I don't think we've changed anything of note in the hidden API parser. Is it possible these are a result of being blocked by the court?

A full code example would help, and if you can, debugging this kind of issue is usually not too bad.
