HTTP Error 403: Forbidden when reading HTML

Question

I would like to read the following html,

 import pandas as pd

daily_info=pd.read_html('https://www.investing.com/earnings-calendar/',flavor='html5lib')

print(daily_info)

Unfortunatelly appears :

urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Is there anyway to fix it?

Pretend to be a browser:

import requests

url = 'https://www.investing.com/earnings-calendar/'

header = {
  "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.75 Safari/537.36",
  "X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"
}

r = requests.get(url, headers=header)

dfs = pd.read_html(r.text)

Result:

In [201]: len(dfs)
Out[201]: 7

In [202]: dfs[0]
Out[202]:
    0   1   2   3
0 NaN NaN NaN NaN

In [203]: dfs[1]
