Error code: 1004. The item or resource being requested could not be found.

Hello, I've started to receive this error since today:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Python\epicstore_free\main.py", line 190, in main

You can directly return data in method EpicGamesStoreAPI.get_free_games. Simply skip self._get_errors(data).

def get_free_games(self, allow_countries: str = None) -> dict:
    """Returns the games from "Free Games" section in the EGS."""
    if allow_countries is None:
        allow_countries = self.country
    api_uri = (
        "https://store-site-backend-static.ak.epicgames.com/"
        "freeGamesPromotions?locale={}&country={}&allowCountries={}"
    )
    api_uri = api_uri.format(self.locale, self.country, allow_countries)
    data = self._session.get(api_uri).json()
    return data

I tested once, the game data returned is still normal, I don't know why there is an error The item or resource being requested could not be found..

I think the issue is that empty values in the JSON response are being presented as None values instead of null.

^ Fixed with the latest commit. Looks like Epic Games messed something up like with the collections method, launcher is ignoring those errors so we probably shall too.

Closed.
