python requests <Response [520]>

Question

I wrote this simple python code:

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get("http://prnt.sc/")
>>> r.status_code
520

i want to download the page at "http://prnt.sc/" and i can visualize it correctly using my browser (Mozilla) but with python i really can't.

I already tried changing and randomising my User-Agent using a python module named fake_useragent, but nothing changes.

I think this problem may be caused by the fact that python takes a different traceroute than my browser.

If I print r.text i get a cloudflare standard page error.

Answer 1

Including a real User-Agent solved it for me:

>>> requests.get("http://prnt.sc/", headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Platform; Security; OS-or-CPU; Localization; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)'}).status_code
