Hello Monks, I am working on scraping a website. My script is able to get to google.com but not to that particular site. I get 403 forbidden error and it doesnt generate any error logs. I have checked with the site policies and they dont restrict web scraping. My guess is i am not passing all the required parameters to the site. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you Akhila.

my $response = $ua->get("http://www.mywebsite.com");
