Issues with deployment on Heroku

[gmkung]

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with the package that somehow only manifests when I deploy the app on Heroku.
The JSOn values returned by the API seem to be generating errors during decoding, and I tried with both versions of the packages (Github and pip package from here).

Both works fine when I run it locally though, and the issue with Heroku popped up only in the last few weeks. Anyone faced similar issues and know what could be the problem?

 File "/app/unit_test11.py", line 4, in <module>
    for a in Perplexity().generate_answer(prompt):
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.11/site-packages/perplexityai/__init__.py", line 22, in __init__
    self.sid = loads(
               ^^^^^^

    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.11/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode

    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
