Hi, In general please be really careful with accepting new host keys.
The host keys should not change in normal circumstances ever. Did you reinstall your raspi? Otherwise make sure to check if someone is man in the middle on your ssh connection, which may lead to your raspberry pi being compromised. Depending on which user the curl is called with, the "known hosts" file changes. If it's a cronjob, check which user is actually executing the script. If it's another user than the user you tried to ssh with, than that's the reason why curl still fails. Each user has its own known hosts file.
