Error 403: Forbidden

At some point SpankBang updated their bot detection measures to be stricter. I initially noticed this when downloading from the site with yt-dlp.
Instead of downloading like this;
yt-dlp https://spankbang.com/8hxfn/video/example+title+of+video (which now fails).
I now am able to successfully download videos like this;
yt-dlp --impersonate edge https://spankbang.com/8hxfn/video/example+title+of+video --legacy-server-connect --no-check-certificates -S "res:1080" --add-metadata -N 4
I assume similar measures would need to be taken to revive this scraper.

Are you scraping a scene, gallery, movie, or performer?

Scene

Scrape with URL? If so, what URLs have you tried?

I have tried scraping via [https://spankbang.com/9cfj0/video/]

Scrape with fragment? If so, what is the filename / title / studio code?

Yes, "Video Title [9cfj0].mp4"

Scrape with name? Give an example you searched for that caused the scraper to fail

N/A
