Specific API endpoint not available via python urllib

Hello! I have an API call that is not working via Python's urllib. The same call is working via curl, and urllib works for other endpoints. I was wondering if anyone has an idea why this call (1) fails, while the others are working (2 curl, 3 other endpoint via urllib). Minimum working example:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os, json
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen

bearer = MY_API_TOKEN
zone_id = MY_ZONE_ID

try:
    request1 = Request(f"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/cache/cache_reserve",
                          headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {bearer}",
                                     "Content-Type": "application/json"})
    response1 = urlopen(request1).read()
    print(response1)
except Exception as e:
    print(str(e))



request2 = os.popen(f"""curl -s --request GET \
        --url https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/cache/cache_reserve \
        --header 'Authorization: Bearer {bearer}' \
        --header 'Content-Type: application/json'""")

response2 = json.loads(request2.read())
print(response2)

try:
    request3 = Request(f"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}",
                          headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {bearer}",
                                     "Content-Type": "application/json"})
    response3 = urlopen(request3).read()
    print(response3)
except Exception as e:
    print(str(e))

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os, json
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen

bearer = MY_API_TOKEN
zone_id = MY_ZONE_ID

try:
    request1 = Request(f"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/cache/cache_reserve",
                          headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {bearer}",
                                     "Content-Type": "application/json"})
    response1 = urlopen(request1).read()
    print(response1)
except Exception as e:
    print(str(e))



request2 = os.popen(f"""curl -s --request GET \
        --url https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/cache/cache_reserve \
        --header 'Authorization: Bearer {bearer}' \
        --header 'Content-Type: application/json'""")

response2 = json.loads(request2.read())
print(response2)

try:
    request3 = Request(f"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}",
                          headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {bearer}",
                                     "Content-Type": "application/json"})
    response3 = urlopen(request3).read()
    print(response3)
except Exception as e:
    print(str(e))
