Scraping a Video from a website and downloading it as mp4

I am trying to scrape this webiste and download the soccer goal that is in it. I saw this Stackoverflow post and I tried the solution and it still does not work.

Here is the code I have done

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# specify the URL of the archive here
url = 'https://cdn-cf-east.streamable.com/video/mp4/g6f986.mp4p'
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.212 Safari/537.36'}
    
with open('video.mp4', 'wb') as f_out:
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, stream=True)
    print(r)
    for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
        if chunk:
            f_out.write(chunk)

when I printed the request it showed me 403 and because of that the video will not open or get downloaded, any thoughts on how I can download the video?

This is how you extract the video link from Streamable if you want to in a programmatic way


import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# specify the URL of the archive here
url = "https://streamable.com/a50s3e"

r = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')

# Pull all text from the BodyText div
video = soup.find_all('video')

temp = video[0].get("src")

url = "https:"+temp

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.212 Safari/537.36'}

with open('video.mp4', 'wb') as f_out:
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, stream=True)
    print(r)
    for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
        if chunk:
            f_out.write(chunk)

Use this below url.
