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

403 errors are the worst, man. Had this happen with my website crawler too.

First, double-check your headers—sometimes a missing "Accept-Language" or "Referer" can trigger it.

Also, try using `requests.Session()` to maintain cookies. Some sites block you if you don’t "look" like a returning visitor.

If all else fails, yeah, proxies. Free ones are sketchy though—I’d go with Luminati or Smartproxy.
