Scraping Therapeutic Antibody Database

Good afternoon.

Has anybody experienced scraping the http://tabs.craic.com database? I'm trying to use Python for that purpose, but my code won't work:

import requests
from requests import HTTPBasicAuth

page = requests.get("http://tabs.craic.com/sequences/1.html", auth=HTTPBasicAuth("my_name", "my_passw"))
print page.text

I'm legal user, i.e I've access token and all the rights, but the page I'm trying to access is not what I wanted. Is there something wrong with my code?

scraping python tabs

The wording of that clause suggests you can transfer data as long as you don't have written permission. I wouldn't do it, but...that is a bad typo.

I suppose commercial databases just don't welcome your scraping. It could even be illegal.
