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

Yeah, this is a common problem. The python article download doesn’t download paid articles because it’s not handling the paywall’s JS or cookies.

You could try requests with lxml to parse the HTML, but honestly, it’s a pain. If you’re just looking for a quick solution, check out Outline.com. It works for some paywalls.
