Hello,

I think quite a lot of people seem to have created issues similar to this one. I solved my problem with the user agent trick (I was not allowed to scrape the contents of a website, for whatever reason, and the result of article.html was basically an empty string).

Either way, I found out that the solution is to use a Config object as a parameter to the Article class, with the browser_user_agent set to something like Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0. I'm wondering if this detail should be added to the main README.md file or not. I'm convinced that this will be helpful and will save a lot of time for other people.

Thank you.
