Looks like Google is explicitly blocking requests with gkeepapi in the User-Agent. Changing it to any other value works fine. Not sure how I want to proceed here - this could become a tedious cat & mouse game. In the meantime, if you want to fix this yourself you can update line 184 in __init__.py.

i don’t understand why Google is blocking it. Either they themselves should come out with an API for Keep which I think everybody has been asking for, or don’t mess with things that are already built that people find useful. WTF google?
