Answer 1

Try this:

import requests

url = "https://www1.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/equities_stock_watch.htm"
headers = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, '
                         'like Gecko) '
                         'Chrome/80.0.3987.149 Safari/537.36',
           'accept-language': 'en,gu;q=0.9,hi;q=0.8', 'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br'}
session = requests.Session()
request = session.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=5)
cookies = dict(request.cookies)
response = session.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=5, cookies=cookies)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.content)

This code for the first time you try to access the website in your program, If your accessing the site multiple times then use this: response = session.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=5, cookies=cookies) everytime you try to access again. Tell me if this works

Answer 2

Try add user agent to header:

import requests

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.162 Safari/537.36'}
r = requests.get('https://www1.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/equities_stock_watch.htm', headers=headers)
print(r.content)
