Description
I just manually checked the API. All entries from 2020-11-08 through 2020-11-14 on the website are missing due to some arbitrary reason. 14th through 18th again has the JSON as expected (I stopped manually checking after 18th). It makes no sense.
TL;DR: https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/enhanced/date/2020-11-13, and many other date results, are an empty JSON.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing response at the EPIC enhanced date endpoint for 2020-11-13, then compare it with the working dates from 2020-11-14 through 2020-11-18. Trace the API entry point and data source for those dates; done means the affected dates return the expected JSON rather than an empty response.
