Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/probberechts/soccerdata/issues/558

I was able to successfully scrap the schedules for premier league using this:

ws = sd.WhoScored(leagues='ENG-Premier League', seasons=seasons, headless=False)

try:
    # Fetch the schedule
    schedule = ws.read_schedule()
    print("Fetched schedule:", schedule)

However, when I switch leagues to 'ESP-La Liga' and run script again I get this error as my exception: Error during processing: "None of ['league', 'season'] are in the columns" I also tried using 'FRA-Ligue 1', 'GER-Bundesliga', 'ITA-Serie A'

Also had issue using tor as suggested where the captcha kept failing.

This could be related to #97.

Could you try with

ws = sd.WhoScored(leagues=league, seasons=seasons, no_cache=True)

Tor indeed does no longer work with Whoscored. I'll update the docs.
