How to fix Newspaper3k 403 Client Error for certain URL's?

问题

I am trying to get a list of articles using a combo of the googlesearch and newspaper3k python packages. When using article.parse, I end up getting an error: newspaper.article.ArticleException: Article download() failed with 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-2020-rally-orlando-1444697 on URL https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-2020-rally-orlando-1444697

I have tried running as admin when executing script and the link works when opening straight in a browser.

Here is my code:

import googlesearch
from newspaper import Article

query = "trump"
urlList = []

for j in googlesearch.search_news(query, tld="com", num=500, stop=200, pause=.01):
    urlList.append(j)

print(urlList)

articleList = []

for i in urlList:
    article = Article(i)
    article.download()
    article.html
    article.parse()
    articleList.append(article.text)
    print(article.text)

Here is my full error output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/andre/PycharmProjects/StockBot/WebCrawlerTest.py", line 31, in <module>
    article.parse()

I expected it to just output the text of the article. Any help you can give would be great. Thanks!

I got it to work by changing the user-agent

from newspaper import Article
from newspaper import Config

user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36'
config = Config()
config.browser_user_agent = user_agent
page = Article("https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-2020-rally-orlando-1444697", config=config)
page.download()
page.parse()
print(page.text)
