I'm having the same issue, I don't know if it's only with new lens or if the web changed something

cant take credit for this, i copied it from a discussion in the github for the snap lens tool. it worked for me though.

What happens there is the 'fake browser' that the web crawler pretends to be doesn't look authentic enough to the host.

Go to the file ..\src\core\lens_crawler.py and modify line 36 as follows:
BEFORE:
response = requests.get(url)
AFTER:
def_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0'
header = {'user-agent': def_agent, 'referer': url}
response = requests.get(url,headers=header)

That should do it.
