Python web scraping with requests and beautiful soup blocked by needing javascript

Question

I am trying to scrape text from a website. I use the simple code: requests.get(url_here). My code has worked until recently. Now, when I use requests, instead of getting the site's text, I get a message saying:

"The site requires JavaScript to be enabled, The browser you're using doesn't support JavaScript. or has JavaScript turned off."

I have verified that my browser does have javascript enabled. Is there a way around this?

Working in Python with a Jupyter notebook on a Mac, for reference.

Here is a small article that was written by me. It is a very basic web scraping of the BookMyShow website. I hope it will work for you.
