Why can I not pip install this one specific github project when others work fine?

I want to use this github project as a library in my own project: https://github.com/cubrink/Toornament.com-API

I tried py -3.8 -m pip install git+https://github.com/cubrink/Toornament.com-API.git but I get the following output:

I have also tried py -3.8 -m pip install git+ssh://olpohl@github.com:cubrink/Toornament.com-API.git but I get this output:

Collecting git+ssh://****@github.com:cubrink/Toornament.com-API.git    Cloning ssh://****@github.com:cubrink/Toornament.com-API.git to c:\users\oliver\appdata\local\temp\pip-req-build-p71m2041  ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 128: git clone -q 'ssh://****@github.com:cubrink/Toornament.com-API.git' 'C:\Users\Oliver\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-build-p71m2041' Check the logs for full command output.  

I can successfully install other github projects like this - but not the one I want to use. I have a feeling the "." period sign in the project name "Toornament.com-API" could cause problems but I am not sure.

Am I missing something? Is there another way I can import this as a library in my own project? Including it as a submodule seems like a bad workaround and a bit of an overkill for what I'm trying to do.
