"Help! Why is python import requests giving me a 403 error?"

Hey folks,

I'm trying to fetch some data from a website using python import requests, but keep hitting a 403 error.

I’ve got my code like this:
```python
response = requests.get('https://example.com')
```
But it just won’t work. Am I missing something?

Do I need headers or something? Or is the site blocking me?

Thanks in advance!

Or, if you prefer a different topic:

"Can someone explain python import requests for API calls?"

Hey everyone,

Newbie here. I’ve seen python import requests used for API stuff, but I’m kinda lost.

How do I actually send a GET request and handle the response?

Like, do I just do:
```python
data = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data').json()
```
Or is there more to it?

Any tips would be awesome!
