how can i bypasd 403 forbidden?
There is a good chance that the website is using Cloudflare to block web scrapers, which will require you to use a fortified headless browser to solve the JS challenges. Your options include the Puppeteer stealth plugin and Selenium undetected-chromedriver.

New headless Chrome has been released and has a near-perfect browser fingerprint
There are even Puppeteer plugins that will do it for you. [^1]
The best detection I've come across so far (i.e. before this release) has just required I run headless Chrome in headed mode. Granted, I don't do a ton of scraping -- mostly just pulling data out of websites so that I can play with it in aggregate using more civilized tools.

Getting detected by Cloudflare for no apparent reason.
As for solutions, you are on point. Running a headless browser or using a web scraping API that does that for you (I work at one: https://scrapfly.io hi) is the easiest way to do it. Note that because of javascript fingerprinting you still need to fortify your headless browsers with various scripts like puppeteer-stealth.

Recent 'MFA Bombing' Attacks Targeting Apple Users
> us[e] Akamai to block scraping
Would https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate help? Haven’t tried with Akamai, but did help with another widely used CDN that shall remain unnamed (but has successfully infused me with burning hate for their products after a couple of years’ worth of using an always-on VPN to bypass Internet censorship and/or a slightly unusual browser).

Get RSS feed for your Ko-Fi account
But before that, I had to create a development environment where I could do the coding. I used Docker and created a docker-compose.yml file on my local system to build a container. At first, I did that on an Arm based computer and the first problem appeared. Although RSS-Bridge was working fine, I couldn't get any data, and the reason was that Ko-Fi.com uses Cloudflare CDN. This is something that a lot of people had issues with in the past. RSS-Bridge solves that problem by using a special build of curl that can impersonate the four major browsers: Chrome, Edge, Safari & Firefox. But unfortunately, that library doesn't work well on Arm-based systems, so I had to move to my trusty Intel-based Linux computer.

I haven’t seen a custom build of Wget, but for Curl there is curl-impersonate[1].
