Hey, I’ve been there with the cloudscraper 403 forbidden issue. One thing that helped was using a combination of rotating proxies and custom headers.

Also, make sure your script isn’t sending too many requests too quickly. Some sites throttle or block based on request frequency. If you’re still stuck, maybe try *MechanicalSoup* as an alternative.
Cloudscraper 403 forbidden errors are such a pain. I’ve found that some sites are just too smart for cloudscraper these days.

Try using *aiohttp* with a proxy rotation and custom headers. It’s async, so it’s faster and can handle more requests without getting blocked. If that doesn’t work, maybe give *Playwright* a shot—it’s been a lifesaver for me.
