Doesen't work, it keeps running forever.

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:

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

Nvm, wrong repo, thought this was cloudscape, my bad😅

BTW, that library has fixed it now, and is used similarly too this one so you should try it: https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper

For those of you who can’t wait for a new version to get published to pypi, you can patch it yourself. There is a fix from @alzamer2 in the pull requests:

https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape/pull/315

To find where your cfscrape module is stored, the easiest way is with the python interpreter from the environment you want to fix. Type python to open up the interpreter and you’ll be greeted with a similar prompt as the one below:

Python 3.7.4 (default, Aug 13 2019, 20:35:49)
[GCC 7.3.0] :: Anaconda, Inc. on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Type the following two commands:

import importlib
importlib.util.find_spec('cfscrape').origin

…which will give you a string path location (similar to the one below):

'/home/user/anaconda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cfscrape/__init__.py'

Open that __init__.py file in an editor and replace all the contents with the raw contents from the pull request:

raw text from pull request 115

Save it and your cfscrape should work again.

Once the pull request is pushed to pypi just update as normal and the contents will be replaced.
