requests.get() hits a stale cache without X-API-Key

[ManicJamie]

I have an application which gets unverified runs every minute (SRC api appears to update every 5mins), but it appears that the current raw requests.get() hits a cache and continues to fetch stale data that eg. firefox does not retrieve for around 10 minutes.

Isolated to the PHPSESSID cookie - there may be some optimisation on SRC's end that forces new sessions to hit a cache but allows existing sessions to fetch fresh data. Manually inserting the cookie from my Firefox into the headers correctly fetches fresh data.

This is also alleviated by setting X-API-Key, which is currently possible without any changes, but the fact that stale data is fetched if you don't is documented neither here nor on SRC's 7 year old docs. Could potentially store PHPSESSID to prevent this issue entirely.
