Solution to 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url with Python 3

I tried all the solutions on StackOverflow till I found one that worked

Without further ado:

1. use urllib instead of requests (Don’t worry it still works the same)
2. use the import the Request() and urlopen() functions from urllib.request

Steps 1 and 2

3. Request the webpage with the Request() function. With the parameters url ( The webpage you want) and headers ( a dictionary of request headers but you should just set it yourself in the way, I did below 👇🏾)

4. Get the string data from the webpage with this code urlopen().read()

5. Use BeautifulSoap to parser your webpage and carry on with your work.
