[Python] (Python) Cant scrape data from rocket tracker using re, requests, and json

I'm having a problem where i can scrape data from a website by using the java pathing. I'm trying to scrape from Rocket League Tracker. here's my code:

import requests
import re
import json
import math

def rankGetter():

trackerLink = 'https://rocketleague.tracker.network/rocket-league/profile/epic/DirectPanda/overview'

# now we have the tracker link we're going to scrape the website
# all the HTML of the site is now in result
result = requests.get(trackerLink)

# checker to make sure the user used the correct information
if result.status_code == 400:
print('profile not found')

else:
# Extract everything needed to render the current page. Data is stored as Json in the
# JavaScript variable: window.__INITIAL_STATE__={"route":{"path":"\u0 ... }};
json_string = re.search(r"window.__INITIAL_STATE__\s?=\s?(\{.*?\});", result.text).group(1)

# convert text string to structured json data
rocketleague = json.loads(json_string)

# Save structured json data to a text file that helps you orient yourself and pick
# the parts you are interested in.
with open('rocketleague_json_data.txt', 'w') as outfile:
outfile.write(json.dumps(rocketleague, indent=4, sort_keys=True))




The error is the text doc made doesn't have the ranks I want anymore.

"stats": {
"standardLeaderboardLeaders": {},
"standardLeaderboards": [],
"standardPlayers": {},
"standardTitles": {}
},
**"stats-v2": {
"segments": {},
"standardProfileMatches": {},
"standardProfileSummaries": {},
"standardProfiles": {},
"standardProfilesHistory": {},
"standardSessions": {},
"subscriptions": {}
},**
"titles": {
"currentTitle": {
"name": "Rocket League",
"platforms": [


The Ranks should be under stats-V2 but as you can see its empty now. whats happening and how do i fix it? I was able to get ranks for a week but all the sudden it stopped working today.
