Laravel Cloud puts Cloudflare's managed WAF in front of every app. Requests with Python's default Python-urllib/3.x User-Agent get a 403 with body error code: 1010 before they ever reach Laravel, so there's nothing in your app logs.

What I measured against a fresh Cloud app:

User-Agent	Result
Python-urllib/3.13	403 (1010)
curl default	200
python-requests/2.32	200
python-httpx/0.28	200
Guzzle, node, empty	200

Two takeaways:

• Calling a Cloud app from a script? Set a descriptive User-Agent, e.g. claude-code/1.0.
• Building an API that agents will call? Say so in your docs. Agents love reaching for stdlib urllib and will read a bare 403 as "my token is wrong".
