api contest.standings are not available

contest.standings documentation

Currently server returns error response with comment contestId: You have to be authenticated to use this method.

But if I use authorization with secret key it returns another error contestId: Only gym and mashup contests are available to non-admin users in this method.

Is it temporarily blocked or it is bugged?

P. S. Admins, I am not using Carrot! Please bring to live at least method that accepts single handle.

Clist is also not adding newer contests probably because of that. Sad.

MikeMirzayanov Vladosiya Could you look into this one? Is it a permanent change or are you planning to fix it so it works the way it used to?

So description is updated. Method is available with super weird restrictions. I guess just to satisfy carrot users

contest.standings?contestId=2226&participantTypes=OUT_OF_COMPETITION
