/hosts/{ip} returns data, but /hosts/search/ endpoint doesn't return anything for the same IP

​​​​​​Query https://search.censys.io/api/v2/hosts/91[.]129[.]106[.]3 returns the following:{    "code": 200,    "status": "OK",    "result": {        "ip": "91[.]129[.]106[.]3",        "services": [],        "location": {            "continent": "Europe",            "country": "Estonia",            "country_code": "EE",            "city": "Tallinn",            "postal_code": "10111",            "timezone": "Europe/Tallinn",            "province": "Harjumaa",            "coordinates": {                "latitude": 59.43696,                "longitude": 24.75353            }        },        "location_updated_at": "2025-04-24T11:09:49.829533682Z",        "autonomous_system": {            "asn": 1257,            "description": "TELE2",            "bgp_prefix": "91.129.96.0/19",            "name": "TELE2",            "country_code": "EU"        },        "autonomous_system_updated_at": "2025-04-24T11:09:49.829533682Z",        "whois": {            "network": {                "handle": "EE-TE

302 when using the Python API

Hello!I hadn’t touched my code for a week or two, and running it again I found that it didn’t work anymore. I went back to almost one of the examples from the official repository:from censys.search import CensysHostsif __name__ == "__main__": api_id = "XXX" api_secret = "YYY" h = CensysHosts(api_id, api_secret) query = h.search("services.service_name: FTP", per_page=1, pages=2) all_hosts = query.view_all() print(all_hosts)And I’m still encountering an exception:Traceback (most recent call last): File "[...]\debug.py", line 10, in <module> all_hosts = query.view_all() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "[...]\.venv\Lib\site-packages\censys\search\v2\api.py", line 208, in view_all for hit in self.__call__(): ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "[...]\.venv\Lib\site-packages\censys\search\v2\api.py", line 168, in __call__ self.total = result["total"] ~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^TypeError: string indices must be integers, not 'str'While debugging, I

Body query related question

Hey!I want to understand a little bit more about how Censys scan works. I was testing the following query: “host.services.endpoints.http.body : "CNPJ: 06.626.253/0001-51" and no results are given. Otherside, on FOFA, with the following query “body="CNPJ: 06.626.253/0001-51" i can see a few hosts. So how does the body query on Censys works? Does FOFA scan deeper than Censys or just a limitation on body attribute?
