Thanks everyone. I’m pre-occupied at the moment, but I’ve identified the change Cloudflare made and will get the module working again in a few hours.

I pushed a change to fix this issue. Can you all please run pip install cfscrape -U to update to the latest version and check if the issue is resolved now?

Cloudflare made some minor changes to their IUAM challenge, which is what caused the library to break. I also refreshed the user-agent pool and increased the delay to 8 seconds to make it a little bit harder for them to detect.
