Did the folder structure change for the EPF feed?

I have an app that regularly traverses the feed to keep a company internal database of iTunes AppIDs current.

In the last ~2 weeks the tool I built stopped working. Last week I noticed I was getting a 403 Forbidden on any attempts to connect. Taking a fresh look this morning, noticed the folder structure seems to have changed.

Is this new structure permanent?

For example, to get the most recent "incremental" file, previously, it was found via the following URL:
https://feeds.itunes.apple.com/feeds/epf/v4/current/current/incremental/current/

The latest incremental I found today appears to be:
https://feeds.itunes.apple.com/feeds/epf/v4/full/20210304/incremental/current/

Note that not only did the general structure change, but now the folder structure has a date as part of the path.

Hi. Did you get any further with this issue? I have a similar problem. EPF URLs are different and also data is not being updated.

I did not. :( I actually started trying to figure out the "new" (?) structure and code to it - then it seemed to revert. It's behaving now how it has for years.

So I reverted to a previous release, and so far, it's running fine.
