Getting a 403 Forbidden error with my Python website crawler – how to fix it? or Why is my Python web

Hey! I had the same issue with my website crawler python 403 forbidden problem. Turns out some sites have really aggressive bot detection.

Try rotating User-Agents and adding delays between requests. Also, check if the site uses Cloudflare—they’re a pain.

If that doesn’t work, proxies are pretty much the only way. I used ScraperAPI (not free but worth it) and it fixed everything.

Good luck!
