Getting error while web scraping using python requests module

Question

Trying to grab the content of website using python 3.6.2.Getting below error.

requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.amazon.in', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_ACCESS_DENIED] tlsv1 alert access denied
 (_ssl.c:748)'),))

Code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
r=requests.get("https://www.amazon.in/")
r.content

Help me in fixing this!

looks like your system rules access denied in router or by firewall — user8060120

You can check your connection and ability to communicate with TLS protocol by typing following command:

openssl s_client -connect www.amazon.in:443

Anyway, your python code is correct and works for me.
