Why doesn't my Python article download script work for paid articles?

This is a classic issue. The python article download doesn’t download paid articles because it’s not handling the paywall’s authentication. Most sites use cookies or tokens to verify access, and your script isn’t sending those.

You could try MechanicalSoup for handling forms and sessions. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, look into Pyppeteer for headless browsing.
