Hello there, 

The pleasure was mine to implement the Firehose API for Zendesk Sell. I wasn't familiar with the Firehose concept but I turns out to be a pleasant way to keep our data in sync. 

For the implementation I used https://www.python-httpx.org/ as http client. This library can be seen as the successor of the famous requests library. 

After some debugging I discovered that the default user agent (python-httpx) is blocked by Cloudflare. 

This is a minimal example to illustrate the problem, a token isn't even required:
curl -v -A "python-httpx/0.23.3" "https://api.getbase.com/v3/contacts/stream"  -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer {}"

Replacing -A with almost every string is allowed so I bypassed the issue by setting the user agent to "Do not block python-httpX". 

Is this something that can be fixed? 

Cheers, Jelmer
