I have a simple telegram bot which fetch data from an api and sends data to telegram as message. Api url works on any browser without any request and it works on postman successfully. My code runs and works truely on replit editor but it returns empty data when I deploy on replit. When I examine the logs, I see that the API returns 200. But the data object is empty. I messed around with headers and even added cookies etc., but no data is being returned. Why could it be?

This is api url which I call : https://www.mexc.com/api/operateactivity/sun_shines/list?kol=false

And this is my codes;

import requests
import time from telegram 
import Bot
import logging from flask import Flask

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, 
                format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s',
                handlers=[logging.FileHandler("app.log"), logging.StreamHandler()])

bot_token = '****'
chat_id = '****'
bot = Bot(token=bot_token)

headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like

}

def fetch_token_symbols():
url = 'https://www.mexc.com/api/operateactivity/sun_shines/list?kol=false'
try:
    logging.debug(f"Request URL: {url}")
    logging.debug(f"Request Headers: {headers}")

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an error for bad status codes
    logging.debug(f"API Response Status Code: {response.status_code}")
    logging.debug(f"API Response Headers: {response.headers}")

    data = response.json()
    logging.debug(f"API Response Data: {data}")

    if 'data' not in data:
        logging.error("API response does not contain 'data' key")
        return []

    token_symbols = [{
        'profitCurrency': item.get('profitCurrency', ''),
        'profitCurrencyFullName': item.get('profitCurrencyFullName', ''),
        'currencyType': item.get('currencyType', ''),
        'contractAddress': item.get('contractAddress', '')
    } for item in data.get('data', [])]

    return token_symbols
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    logging.error(f"Request failed: {e}")
    return []
except ValueError as e:
    logging.error(f"Response parsing failed: {e}")
    return []

def send_token_list():
current_tokens = fetch_token_symbols()

if not current_tokens:
    error_message = "API'den geçerli token listesi alınamadı."
    bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text=error_message)
    logging.error(error_message)
    return

messages = [
    f"Token Sembolü: {token['profitCurrency']}n"
    f"Full Name: {token['profitCurrencyFullName']}n"
    f"Currency Type: {token['currencyType']}n"
    f"Contract Address: {token['contractAddress']}"
    for token in current_tokens
]

message = "Güncellenmiş Token Listesi:nn" + "nn".join(messages)
bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text=message)
logging.info("Güncellenmiş liste gönderildi.")

def start_periodic_task():
  while True:
    send_token_list()
    time.sleep(60)  # 1 minute delay 

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
  return "Application is running!"
