Hi. Is there an alternative present in sunpy for Heliophysics Events Knowledgebase (HEK) to obtain flare start, peak and end times?

Hello @TheNovusCoder,
There are not many (if really any) alternatives to the HEK that I know of. One service is the Helio Event Catalogue (HELIO HEC - GUI) which there is a client for in sunpy: HECClient — sunpy 6.1.1 documentation Issue is that its probably the oldest client in the codebase and as a result I think its best to call directly instead of via fido.
Was the HEK providing information incorrectly or didn’t have the information from a specific source you were after? If there are some issues with that service, they are pretty responsive sometimes to emails if you want to detail the problems you are facing (hek_support@lmsal.com)
