Getting 403 when calling via Python

Open Julia288 opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Hey! Thanks a lot for your contribution. I am getting 403 when calling the URL via python, but it works when using the browser. Do you have any idea how to deal with this? Best, Julia

Yeah, I got the same issue with Julia. Did the api ask for a free api-key? Anyway, thank you for offering this free api example!

The only way to make this work is to send a request via Selenium / Puppeteer. Only a real browser can get a response. Other solutions like CLI cURL, PHP cURL, etc. won't work.

It is enough to change the headers when you call it from python ;).
