I updated to 16.0.0 and my requests stopped working returning a 403. This code used to work with 15.1.0:
const cookieJar = new CookieJar(); // imported from tough-cookie
const client = got.extend({
cookieJar, // This makes cookies persist
headers: {
...options.headers,
},
});
const response = await client.get(url, { responseType: "json" });Source: sindresorhus/got
