JustWatch Class can not be instantiated raises typeError

[ashgazer]

This has something to do with when trying to set the country
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> , in __init__ self.locale = self.set_locale() , in set_locale if result['iso_3166_2'] == self.country or \ TypeError: string indices must be integers

Facing similar issue, any help would be appreciated! @ashgazer any resolution on this?

Same experience here. First noticed on Sep 9. The behavior is the same whether a country value is provided or not.

`>>> just_watch = JustWatch()

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/justwatch/justwatchapi.py", line 18, in init
self.locale = self.set_locale()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/justwatch/justwatchapi.py", line 45, in set_locale
if result['iso_3166_2'] == self.country or
TypeError: string indices must be integers
`

`>>> just_watch = JustWatch(country='US')

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/justwatch/justwatchapi.py", line 18, in init
self.locale = self.set_locale()

`

Justwatch site is still functioning, is it like public use is restricted now?

It's entirely possible. When I first found this repository, JW didn't have this page and now they do.

Ohh, could be. I didn't find any good alternative as well.

Looks like an change from their side.

curl "https://apis.justwatch.com/content/locales/state" or opening the url in the browser works just fine
curl "https://apis.justwatch.com/content/locales/state" --user-agent 'JustWatch Python client (github.com/dawoudt/JustWatchAPI)' only returns a empty object

FYI:
curl "https://apis.justwatch.com/content/locales/state" --user-agent 'JustWatch client (github.com/dawoudt/JustWatchAPI)' works so this might not have been targeted at this lib on purpose

thanks for @chkuendig's idea
using that i made a temp solution. but its not best.

from justwatch import JustWatch, justwatchapi

justwatchapi.__dict__['HEADER'] = {
    'User-Agent': 'JustWatch client (github.com/dawoudt/JustWatchAPI)'}

just_watch = JustWatch()

@venkibale @rking32 I created a pull request for changing the user agent. Hopefully this gets merged soon.
