Cloudscraper helps you access websites that are normally protected by Cloudflare's security checks — especially when sites try to block bots or automated tools.

Yes, it's 100% free and open-source.

People who collect data from websites (like researchers, developers, or marketers) use cloudscraper to bypass basic website blocks.

No. It works well on some websites, especially those using light security from Cloudflare. But it fails when the site shows a CAPTCHA or security challenge.

To stop bots, fake traffic, and abuse. Cloudflare challenges visitors with tests like JavaScript checks or CAPTCHAs to verify they're human.

Cloudscraper cannot get past it. If a CAPTCHA shows up (like reCAPTCHA), the request fails completely. This is a known limitation of cloudscraper.

CaptchaAI solves the CAPTCHA for you in the background. You send the challenge to CaptchaAI, and it sends back the answer — letting cloudscraper continue without breaking.

Not necessarily, but you should be comfortable using Python or automation tools.

Using tools like cloudscraper is allowed for many personal or research purposes, but scraping protected sites without permission may violate terms of service. Always act responsibly.

 No. It doesn’t show or open web pages like Chrome. It’s meant for behind-the-scenes access, mostly used in scripts or data collection apps.
