cloudscraper VS gallery-dl

Try https://github.com/yifeikong/curl_cffi or https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper , I believe you should be able to bypass this.

But scraping has definitely gotten tougher with services like cloudflare that even the popular cloudscraper gave up years ago and never made a comeback.

If you're scraping with Python, try cloudscraper—among other things(!), it supports JS rendering (basically the bare-minimum check cloudflare does), without needing to run a full browser in the background. It's built on requests, so integration (for me, anyway) was pretty easy.

I've tried using Cloudscraper here https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper but I get the following error:

No amount of googling turns up anything. There are others with the same problem - but no real solution. In the gitlab README it explains that to solve CAPTCHAs with cloudscraper you need an API key, which would explain the error that it's not available in the free version. But for the life of me, I can't find where to get a key or any other solution.

Anyone with a stake in bypassing anti-bot measures isn't going to share their tactics, since sharing it will lead to such workaround being patched or mitigated, requiring them to research for more bot detection workarounds.

Projects like cloudscraper[0] are often linked to point and say "look! they broke Cloudflare!" but CF and the rest of the industry has detections for tools like this, and instead of rolling out blocks for these tools, they give website owners tools like bot score[1] to manage their own risk level on a per-page basis.

If you want to grab all the images and videos take a look at gallery-dl, found here https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl

My question is about the docs. Here is the link to gallery-dl on github. from what i see it's kept up-to-date. I'm trying to download a post from ig through any method. Also thinking of creating a configuration-file if necessary. My OS: windows 10, i have worked with a cli before but on linux and my knowledge is very superficial. I have managed to use this tool on other websites like pinterest but can't think of any solutions for instagram as of now. The errors i get are about using the authentication method and when trying to set the cookies-from-browser option.

I could set up a redirect to the '/raw/' pages but then the syntax highlighting is gone.

The same page is perfectly viewable over plain html on gothub[2] though.

Github also seems to be hiding their "Assets" (binaries et al) on the "/releases" page for some projects behind javascript(especially older versions).[3] Something else that wasn't the case about ~1.5 years ago.

Would be great if gothub could unshackle the links to those as well[4], but that appears to not be working at the moment[5] .

This project appears to be a more performant(measurably so), more privacy friendly(as Microsoft won't have a record of your interest in certain projects) alternative front-end for "non logged in" github users.

I like it, but it still needs work.

since it's primarily a picture/video platform, you can use gallery-dl to scrape the feeds you want to follow if you provide authentication, and you should be able to write the captions and stuff to metadata files, but not sure how you'd display it in a useful way.

you could use gallery-dl to do this as well.

gallery-dl (CLI based) focuses on images.

Maybe there is a way to set specific configs only for reddit gallery images, but I'm not sure how it works. Gallery-dl's documentation did not help me, and I also tried to find information from the source code.

You can try image scraping with something like gallery-dl or grabber. I use grabber for stuff off of booru style sites (anime weeb shit), and grabber for everything else. The challenge with these tools is:
