Everything is working on your end. The problem is that the python library I was using (urllib2) did not support ssl. We found one that did (httplib), and lo and behold, we got the data.
I will note that this change has probably broken a lot of existing apps using the api. It isn't hard to fix them (just add ssl), but I would recommend adding some sort of message about it on the top of the api documentation, so that when the developers discover that they are broken, they don't have to hunt as much as me.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the update on what fixed it for you! I filed an issue to track this so we can make sure that api developers know how to update their apps to https.
