Unexpected status code 403 #29

Open dsivasuthan opened 5 months ago

The script has been working flawlessly until recently. It throws the following error and exits:

Unexpected status code 403 for https://api.thingiverse.com/files/2046728/download/?access_token=***

I have created a new token to no avail. The URL generated in filelist.txt initiates a download when opened in browser. Something happens at SESSION.get(file_link.link) on line 683 in file thingy_grabber.py

Any help would be appreciated.

I debugged this a little more and was able to solve the issue. I think thingiverse made a change where it rejects UserAgent that says "python-requests". I changed it to say "firefox" (in this file "/home//.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/requests/utils.py") and downloads started working again. This is not a permanent solution as an OS update would override the file in the future. Maybe we should override the UserAgent here?
