You didnt even post code.
But regardless of that - if you get blocked, you'll need to resolve that
with the admin of the page.
Maybe you can even ask (them) if you may get an API Documentation for
Developers and or explain what your use case is and how you should proceed.
Some websites are explicitly custom fetching, others - like the icedrive
website you shared recently - do not.

You are most likely being catched by an AI Crawler blocker. Presumably
because your requests are similar to the behavior of an AI or otherwise
automated scraper.
Dont do that.

Try to find dev documentation or ask the service admin as Daniel said.
