Has json been disabled on 8kun?

The normal way to scrape boards/threads is to pull json encoded versons for parsing, and that now appears to be disabled.

For instance, this thread would be https://8kun.top/qresearch/res/16724461.json, and you could open that in a browser, but trying to open now is returning 403 Forbidden. Are others seeing this?

If this is on purpose, I hope it is realized that all of the aggregation sites like qresear.ch, qanon.pub, etc. will no longer function without it.
