OP reply:
Whoa, thanks for all the tips! Didn’t even think about headers beyond user-agent—just tried adding Referer and it helped a bit.
Playwright sounds dope, gonna test that tonight. Also, Smartproxy’s trial worked way better than the free ones I was using.
Quick Q: Anyone know if Cloudflare ever "learns" your behavior? Like, if I tweak my web scrape script enough, will it eventually stop flagging me? Or is it a lost cause?
(Also, cheers for the API suggestion—found one hiding in the network tab. Lifesaver!)
