Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/probberechts/soccerdata/issues/780

Describe the bug
I want to scrape soccer data and my scraping code, that works for months, doesn't work now.

Affected scrapers
This affects the following scrapers:

ClubElo
ESPN
FBref
FiveThirtyEight
FotMob
Match History
SoFIFA
Understat
WhoScored

Code example
A minimal code example that fails. Use no_cache=True to make sure an invalid cached file does not cause the bug and make sure you have the latest version of soccerdata installed.

import json
import os
import pyodbc
from class_Match import Match
from soccerdata import FotMob
from soccerdata import fbref as sd
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
from openpyxl import load_workbook

pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)

# Setze die Parameter für den Tor-Proxy
tor_proxy = {
    'http': 'socks5h://localhost:9150',
    'https': 'socks5h://localhost:9150'
}

path = Path('C:/Users/tobia/soccerdata/data/FotMob/matches/Bundesliga')

# Erstelle eine Instanz von FotMob und verwende den Tor-Proxy
fotmob = FotMob(leagues='GER-Bundesliga', seasons=[23, 24, 25], proxy=tor_proxy, data_dir= path)
match_stats = fotmob.read_team_match_stats(stat_type='Top stats', team=None)
#print(FotMob.available_leagues())
