[BUG] Economics Module HTTP Error 403

[YouCantHandleMyOPness]

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with the Economics module connecting to a website to scrap for data. I have included minimal code needed to reproduce the error, the version of modules on my system, the python version, and OS version. Please let me know if there is anything else I should include.

Minimal code needed to reproduce:

"
from financetoolkit import Economics
cls_economics = Economics(start_date = "2017-01-01",
end_date = "2018-01-01", quarterly = True)
cls_economics.get_gross_domestic_product_growth(quarterly = True)
"

Error:

Hi! I'll have a look today/tomorrow.

[JerBouma]

It seems the current method is being blocked. I need to revise this menu altogether as it can break too easily right now unfortunately.

This issue has been fixed, please update to v1.9.9 of the Finance Toolkit.

Let me know if you run into any other issues.
