How to solve 405 error in python web scraping?

I was scraping a website and got 405 error. After searching a while I got to know that it's a good error that means the resource I'm looking for exists but I don't have access to it. The possible reason may be that I'm accessing it via python interpreter and not the browser. So now the question arises is how do I fake a website to feel it like browser is accessing it and not the Python.

coderAbhii I can't find any link in that site that redirect me to a login page. You can try these methods: 1. Check your credentials. 2. Check that you have used correct method to send data. 3. Check if that forms requires any other credentials like token id. 4. Contact to that site and ask for help from them.

I'm accessing something which requires login access to the site. I have the credentials and I sent a post request to the site but it gives the status code 405. It won't be good to share the code due security reasons. I hope u understand
