See original GitHub issue

I started using the gcexport.py script again last week (after the Garmin ransomware problem) following ~3 months not using it. Now it seems the gcexport.py keeps throwing an error 400 when downloading the tcx.

Was wondering if someone has encountered this issue? Wondering if the API changed or if it’s related to the ransomware problem where Garmin might have changed something?

I’m on ubuntu 18.04.
