Will need to confirm if this call is running into the same cloudflare error that other repos such as garmin-uploader have reported. The workaround currently in place there is to make the calls more cloudflare friendly by replaceing the requests with cloudscraper (see here).

I'll do some tests tonight to confirm the proplem and check the viability of this fix for us as well.

Tried it moments ago and I did not encounter such a problem.

I'm experiencing this problem as well for quite some time. However, for me the cloudscraper-based fixes did not work (I've ran into a 403 with https://github.com/jacobhell/garminexport)

[moderation]

I've downloaded rides from Sunday and today (US California time) with my fork at https://github.com/moderation/garmin-connect-export without errors

I had the same problem last week. I switched from Python 3.4 to 3.9. Now it works fine.

[pe-st]

What version of Python do you use, @RyanAugust ? Is it 3.6 as "C:\Users\ryand\miniconda3\envs\gc_36\lib\urllib\request.py" in your stacktrace might suggest?

I have no such problems using Python 3.9

[rsjrny]

I have also tested with Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.9. Version 3.9 has no issues downloading

Yes, it's related to the Python version. Moving from Python 2.7.5 to Python 3.6.8 fixes the problem.

[RyanAugust]

@pe-st Yes, was running in a 3.6.13 environment. Following @rsjrny suggestion, I'm not encountering errors when executing within 3.7 or 3.9 environments.

As @RyanAugust confirmed, this is not an issue of the script, but of the Python version. It makes no sense to work around HTTP issues of old versions if upgrading to newer 3.x version solves the issue.
