Datamuse currently not working?

[wieco12]

Hi,
I’m currently unable to retrieve rhymes using python-datamuse. Even simple queries consistently fail. Example:

from datamuse import Datamuse
api = Datamuse()
api.words(rel_rhy="orange", max=5)
JSONDecodeError: Expecting value

It seems the Datamuse API endpoint is currently not returning valid JSON, which affects both the Python and R packages relying on it.
Is this a a known issue?
Thanks!

@wieco12 are you still experiencing this? If it's an upstream API issue, you may be able to contact OneLook/Datamuse via this form: https://www.onelook.com/about.shtml#feedback.

If it turns out to be an issue with the library, you can create an issue at https://github.com/gmarmstrong/python-datamuse.
