Rule 3

• Use If-Modified-Since when doing your requests.

Code looks something like

    headers={'If-Modified-Since': pastResponseTime}
    query = 'https://a.4cdn.org/pol/thread/' + str(id) + '.json'
    response = requests.get(query, headers)

Using either current GMT or header 'last-modified' always returns <200> rather than the <304> desired.

You're using the requests library wrong. Second parameter is params by default, not headers. Use this instead: requests.get(query, headers=headers)
