Request Headers for Web Scraping

With every HTTP request there are headers that contain information about that request. We can maipulate these with requests or which ever web scraping tool we are using with Python to change how the server reacts to us. In this video i'll show you the basics of how they work and what they look like, and then demo how to change the most important ones in your code.
