cloudflare-scrape: Sudden error

Before creating an issue, first upgrade cfscrape with pip install -U cfscrape and see if you’re still experiencing the problem. Please also confirm your Node version (node --version or nodejs --version) is version 10 or higher.

Make sure the website you’re having issues with is actually using anti-bot protection by Cloudflare and not a competitor like Imperva Incapsula or Sucuri. And if you’re using an anonymizing proxy, a VPN, or Tor, Cloudflare often flags those IPs and may block you or present you with a captcha as a result.

Please confirm the following statements and check the boxes before creating an issue:

  • [ ✓] I’ve upgraded cfscrape with pip install -U cfscrape
  • [ ✓] I’m using Node version 10 or higher
  • [ ✓] The site protection I’m having issues with is from Cloudflare
  • [ ✓] I’m not using Tor, a VPN, or an anonymizing proxy

You are a hero @edarbieto

I have also gone through the HTML of that site with Cloudflare protection and it seemed changed but I never realized this was so small. Well, I’m not that good debugger. I was quite confused about this javascript challenge because it involves lots of things that are hard to understand. But you came here like a godly hand. How could you do that? I mean there could be a number of other things which can cause this problem. How the hell this small space .? regex. Haahahahahahahahhahahaha Really you are phenomenal. 😃
