tiny-skia VS cloudscraper

You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.

Looking through the source code. It looks like it's using tiny-skia for rendering.

Tiny Skia (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia) which is a slower Rust port of Skia and does all software rendering.

https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia is pretty great.

I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Here is a real world implementation in tiny-skia: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia/blob/master/src/pipeline/highp.rs

How about tiny-skia?

How about tiny-skia? Almost the same performance as C, no unsafe, a lot of explicit SIMD.

Now I would love to see a universal Bezier path crate, storage + common utilities like length, point at offset, some low-level stuff, etc. So it could be used as a foundation for other crates. Currently, there is a lot of friction because each crate has its own implementation.

Nice to see tiny-skia in use.

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.
