@oliverhaven This is typically caused by the site's firewall blocking the default Python requests header. Try adding a common browser User-Agent:

python

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'}
requests.get('your_url', headers=headers)

This makes your request appear to come from a regular browser rather than a script. Let me know if this resolves the timeout issue.
