Datasets not updated since mid April

Hi David,

I notice the datasets have not been updated since mid April.
Is there a specific issue you're dealing with, or are you lowering the update frequency?

Hey @mortgad. Yes. there's currently an issue on the acquisition step that's blocking the pipeline. I'd assume this is transfermakt being more strict about the scraping traffic they allow.

I also notice more strict rate limiting when trying to use the requests library in Python towards Transfermarkt resources.
Do you have any solutions in mind at the moment? Or when do you plan on solving it?

Would also love to know when you aim to try tackle the 500 errors from Transfermarkt!
