Astrometry.net API Login Problem

Hello,

So, I'm using the client.py to login and use Astrometry.net and it was working perfectly before today. All of the sudden it is having a problem with logging in. This code:

astrometry = Client()
astrometry.login(key)

Calls the login function of the client.py object (here for reference):

def login(self, apikey):
    args = { 'apikey' : apikey }
    result = self.send_request('login', args)
    sess = result.get('session')
    #print('Got session:', sess)
    if not sess:
        raise RequestError('no session in result')
    self.session = sess

And produces this error (apikey X'ed out for privacy, but in the actual error it is the correct apikey for me, I've checked):

File "/Users/alexistudor/PycharmProjects/photometry-plus/photometry.py", line 569, in getWCS
    astrometry.login(key)
File "/Users/alexistudor/PycharmProjects/photometry-plus/client/client.py", line 120, in login
    result = self.send_request('login', args)
File "/Users/alexistudor/PycharmProjects/photometry-plus/client/client.py", line 110, in send_request
    raise RequestError('server error message: ' + errstr)
client.client.RequestError: server error message: failed to parse JSON: "{"apikey": "XXXXXXXXX"}"

This code was working perfectly before, and to my knowledge, {"apikey" : "XXXXXXXX"} is the correct formatting for the login JSON. Any idea why it isn't working anymore?

Sincerely,
Alexis Tudor

Sorry about that, I just deployed a code update that had a bug in the JSON parsing! Should now be fixed -- try now?
