thought i was going crazy, same issue

[Probot639]

Definitely a google change with their API

[amydosomething]

Same issue, tried 2 days back and it was fine.

How to solve this issue?

[mxrch]

I'm not at home, but if someone can PR the fix, would be helpful. Seems like a change related to the cover photo

[amydosomething]

I created a PR yesterday related to it. Can you please check?
Also lemme know if any changes are needed because I've addressed the Name error too. I can make changes to only address the Key error if you say.

Thank you @amydosomething ! Merged, I will update the Pypi package ASAP, but for people who can't wait :
pipx uninstall ghunt
pipx install git+https://github.com/mxrch/ghunt

Should work!

[amydosomething]

Yayy!! Thank you!

[Sarthak-Sidhant]

pipx uninstall ghunt
pipx install git+https://github.com/mxrch/ghunt

pulling it from latest source seems to have fixed this, do close the issue when you've uploaded it to PyPi, thanks!

Thank you for maintaining this wonderful project <3

[radiophonic]

Confirmed working. Thanks all.

@mxrch a little reminder to update ghunt in PyPi 😉
