Hello,
I'm trying to get a short python program running on my Pi 4B running Bullseye OS. The program uses urllib.request to hit a specific API, which should return JSON.
When I run this, the program errors out on the urllib.request.urlopen(req) line, giving an HTTP ERROR 403: Forbidden error.
The trouble is, i can run the same 5 lines of code on my Windows laptop in an Anaconda python environment running the same version of python (3.9.2) and get a successful response code, 200 (more than that, have decoded and parsed the json, I get what's expected).
I can also do the same on a remote hosting site running Red Hat Linux, and python version 3.6.1.
The commented-out URL in my code above gives me a successful connection on my Pi4B.
Lastly, I can copy the URL above into my Chromium browser on the Pi4B, and it returns the json as expected. The header in my code comes from the "User-Agent" in the Chromium dev tools window after a successful connection. I have tried my python code both with and without the header.
Any ideas on why this errors in python on my Pi4B?
