   I don't know if you can change the user agent in lynx, but try and see if it   
   works with curl.   
      
   e.g:   
   agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:127.0) Gecko/20100101   
   Firefox/127.0"   
      
   curl -A "$agent"    
      
      
   I've had to do this in the past when pulling information for weather, they   
   stopped allowing curl, but simply changing the user agent allowed it to work.
