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:

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

Code snippet involved with the issue

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import cfscrape

valid = True
cnt = 0
url = 'https://www.cdp.net/en/responses?queries%5Bname%5D=nike'

# send requests until the scraper protection kicks in
while valid:
    cnt += 1
    print(cnt)

    # scrape
    scraper = cfscrape.create_scraper()
    res = scraper.get(url) 
    soup = BeautifulSoup(res.content, 'html.parser')
    table = soup.find('table', class_='sortable_table')
    
    # if protection is activated, the table will not be found. Exit loop.
    # takes approx. 40 requests
    if table == None:
        valid = False
        print('scraper protection kicked in')
