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?

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

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.
