I have been using the following python library to generate apple map snapshots. has worked fine until about ~12 hours ago - now all I'm getting is "bad request" for any snapshot with overlays. if it's just a snapshot with a defined center and no polyline overlays, it still works. perhaps something has changed with the api's way of parsing percent encoded parameters? it's super irritating that there's no changelog or source code to view. what the heck??? https://pypi.org/project/mapsnap/

Previously (and still, according to the documentation) building a Map Snapshot URL required building the URL with all its parameters, and then signing it using your private key. However, the URL created via the "Create a map" tool simply appends the pre-generated token on the end of the URL. And if I build a URL and do the same thing - append the token, but do not create a signature - the snapshot is generated correctly. (Omitting the token leads to a "not authenticated" message). Is this a new, easier way to generate snapshots?
