Why curl works but python requests doesn't?

Question

Python

Hello.
Here is a command from the console that works exactly as I need and returns exactly what I want:

curl https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/history

and here is the python code, which, in my understanding, does about the same thing:

url = 'https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/history'
r = requests.get(url)

gets 404.
CHADNT ?

It looks like the site trusts the curl user agent to be curl/7.77.0, but not the default requests.

r = requests.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'curl/7.77.0'})

Instead curl/7.77.0, you can specify any convenient user agent, let's say from a browser
