If they change their style sheet again, the code may not work again. So, perhaps it is useful to add a comment on top with a timestamp.

@nishkalavallabhi Maybe using a demo website such as quotes.toscrape.com instead of stackoverflow would be a better idea.

I'm trying to run the notebook, but I get the following error: HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
Can you please have a look? Many thanks!
