Thanks for reaching out Chris, and rest assured this list is as good a
place as any to do it.

My apologies for the sudden breakage and confusion here.
Richard linked to some bugs with a little more context, but the short
story is: for operational security reasons we have added some temporary
rules designed to prevent non-web clients from accessing the login API.
These rules have been successful in preventing a lot of fraudulent
traffic; unfortunately they've also blocked some legitimate uses such as
yours. We're evaluating the current approach and working hard on next
steps, which I'm hopeful will allow us to lift the current restrictions
soon.
Thanks,
Ryan
