Description
The Washington Post (wp) downloader appears to have two issues:
- Sunday-only puzzles: All requests hit the endpoint
/crossword/levels/sunday/YYYY/MM/DD, meaning only Sunday puzzles can be fetched. Passing a non-Sunday date results inNo parseable JSONsince the API has no Sunday puzzle for that date. - Limited historical availability: Even for valid Sunday dates, the API only returns data going back to approximately May 2025. Any Sunday before that fails with the same
No parseable JSONerror.
Steps to reproduce:
# Non-Sunday date - fails
xword-dl wp -d 2025-12-01
# No parseable JSON at https://games-service-prod.site.aws.wapo.pub/crossword/levels/sunday/2025/12/01
# Valid Sunday but older than ~May 2025 - fails
xword-dl wp -d 2025-04-27
# No parseable JSON at https://games-service-prod.site.aws.wapo.pub/crossword/levels/sunday/2025/04/27
# Valid recent Sunday - works
xword-dl wp -d 2025-12-28
# Downloads successfully
# Latest - works
