Show HN: Dropflow, a CSS layout engine for node or <canvas>
I'm a little confused by your comment. I've been using the Prawn library to generate PDFs on the backend for a side project I am working on for quite sometime https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn
(Admittedly, the PDFs I generate are most certainly not beautiful, so maybe that's the difference)

Working with PDFs in Ruby
to view the email preview (note the PDF attachment included in the email): ![Email preview with attachment](https://www.honeybadger.io/images/blog/posts/ruby-pdfs/email-preview.png) ## Prawn PDF [Prawn PDF](https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn) is a pure Ruby PDF- generation library that comes packed with features, such as PNG and JPG image embeds, generated file encryption, right-to-left text rendering, a way to incorporate outlines for easy document navigation, and a lot more. Prawn comes with its own DSL, which drives its powerful PDF generation abilities. ### When to Use Prawn Although it's not a fully featured report generation library like the well-known [Jasper Reports](https://community.jaspersoft.com/), with a bit of work using it's powerful DSL, you can generate some really cool and rather complex PDF documents with Prawn. Even so, it's important to note that Prawn isn't everything. If you want to generate PDFs from HTML, then you should look elsewhere, as the gem provides very limited support for inline styling, something of a hurdle if you're working with rich HTML documents. ### Installing and Using Prawn To get started with Prawn, install it with this command: ```bash gem install prawn

Is the Prawn gem something you can utilize?

Working on Script to auto-generate templates, help needed
Javascript isn't really my thing, so first I had a go with the Prawn library in ruby, but now I'm hacking LuaTex via Fennel and having a blast.

Creating PDFs in a Ruby on Rails application
You have a few options when trying to create a PDF in a Rails environment. Prawn and Wicked PDF have been around for quite a while. I have been using both gems and they work fine. However, they have a few limitations that can make it difficult to handle more complex PDFs. I recently discovered Grover, which can remediate some of this inflexibility in creating PDFs.

What libraries do you miss from other languages?
On this note, Ruby’s Prawn is great at the writing half and I miss it in pretty much every other language.

Any idea why this request works in Insomnia/cURL but not in Python requests?
Try https://github.com/yifeikong/curl_cffi or https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper , I believe you should be able to bypass this.

A next-gen crawling and spidering framework
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.

[Python] Scraping rent properties getting blocked by Cloudflare
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.

Web Scraping Open Knowledge
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.

- I don't know if this breaks the rules, but I have nowhere else to put it. Help is needed on archving Citizen News. Please help by reposting this on LIHKG or other social media, thank you.

So you want to Scrape like the Big Boys?
I'm really surprised that the JS challenges helped so much, given that there are open source libraries for bypassing them (e.g. cloudscraper[0]).
-
What libraries do you miss from other languages?
The only thing I'm missing is cloudscraper. In Python, it is a small wrapper on top of requests, so I guess in Rust it can be a wrapper on top of hyper::Client or reqwest::Client.
What are some alternatives?
cloudflare-scrape - A Python module to bypass Cloudflare's anti-bot page.
Wicked Pdf - PDF generator (from HTML) plugin for Ruby on Rails
FlareSolverr - Proxy server to bypass Cloudflare protection
HexaPDF - Versatile PDF creation and manipulation for Ruby
