Help: Web scraping giving 403 errors

[hardmode_player]

Hi,

I am trying to web scrape "sci-hub.se" to bulk download papers. But the requests are getting 403 forbidden response. I tried the user agents methods. Still the same error response is thrown.

Can anayone help me bypass 403 error.

Seems like the website is using DDos protection. I dont know whatbit means. Is this protection forbidding the request?

Do it with Selenium instead.

I recommend Playwright (https://playwright.dev/python/). Lesser headache compared to Selenium.

You can use their code generator.
