Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden

Hello!

I'm trying to run a script to scrape starting pitchers from Rotogrinders.com and Baseballpress.com and this error comes back. Do I need to request to have these two sites added?

requests.exceptions.ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='rotogrinders.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /lineups/mlb?site=fanduel (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden')))

Thanks in advance.

Free users can only access sites on our allowlist. If the site has a publicly documented API, this help page gives details on how to request an addition to the allowlist.

Thanks for the response, Glen!

If I upgraded to the Hacker level, would it work then? Just want to confirm before going forward. Thanks again!

It should work on a paid account. At least we would stop blocking it.

Upgrading did the trick, thank you for the responses.

Cool, thanks for confirming that!
