Access denied while downloading PDF using Python Requests - python

I am looking for downloading the PDFs with python and using requests library for the same. Following code works for some of the PDF documents but It throws an error for few documents.
from pathlib import Path
import requests
filename = Path('c:/temp.pdf')
url = 'https://www.rolls-royce.com/~/media/Files/R/Rolls-Royce/documents/investors/annual-reports/rr-full%20annual%20report--tcm92-55530.pdf'
response = requests.get(url,verify=False)
filename.write_bytes(response.content)
Following is the exact response (response.content), however, I can download the same document using a chrome browser without any error
b'<HTML><HEAD>\n<TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE>\n</HEAD><BODY>\n<H1>Access Denied</H1>\n \nYou don\'t have permission to access "http://www.rolls-royce.com/%7e/media/Files/R/Rolls-Royce/documents/investors/annual-reports/rr-full%20annual%20report--tcm92-55530.pdf" on this server.<P>\nReference #18.36ad4d68.1562842755.6294c42\n</BODY>\n</HTML>\n'
Is there any way to get rid out of this?

You get 403 Forbidden because requests by default sends User-Agent: python-requests/2.19.1 header and server denies your request.
You can get the correct value for this header from your browser and everything will be fine.
For example:
import requests
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 YaBrowser/19.6.1.153 Yowser/2.5 Safari/537.36'}
url = 'https://www.rolls-royce.com/~/media/Files/R/Rolls-Royce/documents/investors/annual-reports/rr-full%20annual%20report--tcm92-55530.pdf'
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(r.status_code) # 200

scraping yell with python requests gives 403 error

I have this code
from requests.sessions import Session
url = "https://www.yell.com/s/launderettes-birmingham.html"
s = Session()
headers = {
'user-agent':"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/100.0.4896.127 Safari/537.36",
}
r = s.get(url,headers=headers)
print(r.status_code)
but I get 403 output, instead 200
I can scrape this data with selenium, but is there a way to scrape this with requests
If you modify your code like so:
print(r.text)
print(r.status_code)
you will see, that the reason you are getting a 400 error code is due to yell using Cloudflare browser check.
As it uses javascript, there is no way to reliably use the requests module.
Since you mentioned you are going to use selenium, make sure to use the undetected driver package
Also, be sure to rotate your IP to avoid getting your IP blocked.

Web Scraping - Cloudflare Issues

I am trying to scrape https://www.carsireland.ie/search#q?%20scraper%20python=&toggle%5Bpoa%5D=false&page=1 (I had built a scraper but then they did a total overhaul of their website). The new website has a new format and has Cloudflare to provide the usual security. I have the following code which returns a 403 error, particularly referencing this error:
"https://www.cloudflare.com/5xx-error-landing"
The code which I have built so far is as follows:
from requests_html import HTMLSession
session = HTMLSession()
header = {
"user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.36" ,
'referer':'https://www.google.com/'
}
# url of search page
url = 'https://www.carsireland.ie/search#q?sortBy=vehicles_prod%2Fsort%2Fpoa%3Aasc%2Cupdated%3Adesc&page=1'
# create a session with the url
r = session.get(url, headers=header)
# render the url
data = r.html.render(sleep=1, timeout=20)
# Check the response
print(r.text)
I would really appriciate any help which could be provided to correct the CloudFlare issues which I am having.
this problem can be fixed by simply changing the referer property in header to the link you are going to scrape.

Unable to fetch a response - Request library Python

I am unable to fetch a response from this url. While it works in browser, even in incognito mode. Not sure why it is not working. It is just keep running without any output. No errors. I even tried request headers by setting 'user-agent' key but again received no response
Following is the code used:
import requests
response = requests.get('https://www1.nseindia.com/ArchieveSearch?h_filetype=eqbhav&date=04-12-2020&section=EQ')
print(response.text)
I want html text from the response page for further use.
Your server is checking to see if you are sending the request from a web browser. If not, it's not returning anything. Try this:
import requests
headers = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0'}
r=requests.get('https://www1.nseindia.com/ArchieveSearch?h_filetype=eqbhav&date=04-12-2020&section=EQ', timeout=3, headers=headers)
print(r.text)

Access denied [403] when accessing site with BeautifulSoup python

I want to scrape https://www.jdsports.it/ using BeautifulSoup but I get access denied.
On my pc I don't get any problem accessing the site and I'm using the same user agent of the Python program but on the program the result is different, you can see the output below.
EDIT:
I think I need cookies to gain access to the site. How can I get them and use them to access the site with the python program to scrape it?
-The script works if I use "https://www.jdsports.com" that's the same site but with different region.
Thanks!
import time
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import smtplib

url = 'https://www.jdsports.it/'
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
soup.encode('utf-8')
status = soup.findAll.get_text()
print (status)
The output is:

Suspected HTTP/2 at first, but wasn't able to get that working either. Perhaps you are more lucky, here's a HTTP/2 starting point:
import asyncio
import httpx
import logging
logging.basicConfig(format='%(message)s', level=logging.DEBUG)
headers = {
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.138 Safari/537.36',
}
url = 'https://www.jdsports.it/'
async def f():
client = httpx.AsyncClient(http2=True)
r = await client.get(url, allow_redirects=True, headers=headers)
print(r.text)
asyncio.run(f())
(Tested both on Windows and Linux.) Could this have something to do with TLS1.2? That's where I'd look next, as curl works.

403 Forbidden Error when scraping a site, user-agents already used and updated. Any ideas?

As the title above states I am getting a 403 error. The URLs generated are valid, I can print them and then open them in my browser just fine.
I've got a user agent, it's the exact same one that my browser sends when accessing the page I want to scrape pulled straight from chrome devtools. I've tried using sessions instead of a straight request, I've tried using urllib, and I've tried using a generic request.get.
Here's the code I'm using, that 403s. Same result with request.get etc.
headers = {'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.157 Safari/537.36'}
session = requests.Session()
req = session.get(URL, headers=headers)
So yeah, I assume I'm not creating the useragent write so it can tell I am scraping. But I'm not sure what I'm missing, or how to find that out.
I got all headers from DevTools and I started removing headers one by one and I found it needs only Accept-Language and it doesn't need User-Agent and it doesn't need Session.
import requests
url = 'https://www.g2a.com/lucene/search/filter?&search=The+Elder+Scrolls+V:+Skyrim&currency=nzd&cc=NZD'
headers = {
'Accept-Language': 'en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3',
}
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
data = r.json()
print(data['docs'][0]['name'])
Result:
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Steam Key GLOBAL
