A Python module (cfscrape) built on Requests that bypasses Cloudflare's JavaScript anti-bot challenge page ('I'm Under Attack Mode') so scripts can scrape protected websites. It uses Node.js to solve Cloudflare's obfuscated JavaScript challenges, impersonating a regular browser.

Use cases

  • scrape a website protected by Cloudflare
  • bypass Cloudflare's checking your browser page
  • crawl Cloudflare-protected sites with Python
  • fetch pages behind Cloudflare IUAM anti-bot mode
  • make requests to sites that block non-browser clients

When to choose

  • you need to programmatically access a site that only shows the JavaScript-check Cloudflare page
  • you want a lightweight Requests-based solution rather than a full headless browser
  • you're scraping with Python 2.6-3.7 and have Node.js available

When to avoid

  • the target site presents a reCAPTCHA challenge, which this cannot solve
  • Cloudflare has updated their protections beyond what this unmaintained-era module handles
  • you need a maintained solution - consider cloudscraper or headless browsers instead
  • you cannot install Node.js on your machine
