Error 403 forbidden

Hey,

first of all thanks for the nice tool! I've been using it for some months now. Unfortunately, since yesterday(?) I get the following error regardless of the parameters I use. The password and username are correct. I verified it via Garmin Connect web interface:

Any changes on Garmin side? Can you reproduce the problem or do I have canged something here that I am not aware of atm?

@TobiasGirschick follow the comments thread on this issue for the fix - #18 (comment). My fork which has the necessary GET calls and works is linked to from the comments.

Thanks @moderation for implementing the solution. I created a pull request containing the authentication and activity download fixes (no refactoring) to see if this could be merged into @kjkjava upstream repo.

Meanwhile you can use clone my fork https://github.com/fjgal/garmin-connect-export
