+# Python scripts making Microsoft Graph requests are detected as web crawlers
+
+This article provides solutions to an issue where Python Scripts might be detected as web-crawlers when making Microsoft Graph requests.
+
+## Symptoms
+
+A Python script that makes a Microsoft Graph request might sometimes be detected by the gateway as web crawlers. If Python scripts use a pool manager, when you block the request, the following error message is returned:
+
+```output
+{'error': {'code': 'UnknownError', 'message': '\r\n403 Forbidden\r\n\r\n
+
+403 Forbidden
+
+\r\n
+
+Microsoft-Azure-Application-Gateway/v2
+
+\r\n\r\n\r\n', 'innerError': {'date': '{UTC Date/Time}', 'request-id': '{guid}', 'client-request-id': '{guid}'}}}
+```
+
+## Cause
+
+The issue occurs because some Python scripts might not structure their requests in a way that conforms to expected patterns. As a result, the gateway mistakenly identifies the requests as coming from a web-crawler.
+
+## Solution
+
+To resolve this issue, use the [Microsoft Graph SDK for Python](https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-python-core). If you don't want to use it, structure your requests similarly to how the SDK handles them by using Python's Session object to send requests.
+
+Here is an example of how you can structure your requests manually:
+
+```python
+from requests import Request, Session
+
+def example\_request(url):
+    http = Session()
+    req = Request('GET', url, headers=h)
+    prepped = req.prepare()
+    resp = http.send(prepped)
+    return resp.json()
+```
