cfsolver 1.0.3

Cloudflare Solver - HTTP client with automatic challenge bypass

CFSolver

Python HTTP client that automatically bypasses Cloudflare challenges using the CloudFlyer API.

Features

• Drop-in replacement for requests and httpx - minimal code changes required
• Automatic challenge detection - detects Cloudflare protection and solves transparently
• Multiple solving modes - auto-detect, always pre-solve, or disable
• Turnstile support - solve Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA and get tokens
• Transparent proxy mode - automatic bypass for any HTTP client without code changes
• Proxy support - HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxies for both requests and API calls
• Browser impersonation - TLS fingerprint mimicking via curl-impersonate
• Async support - full async/await API for high-performance applications
• Command-line interface - quick operations without writing code

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install cfsolver

# With transparent proxy support (requires mitmproxy)
pip install cfsolver[proxy]

# All features
pip install cfsolver[all]

Quick Start

Python API

Works just like requests, but automatically handles Cloudflare challenges:

from cfsolver import CloudflareSolver

solver = CloudflareSolver("your-api-key")
response = solver.get("https://protected-site.com")
print(response.text)

Command Line

# Set API key
export CLOUDFLYER_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Make a request with automatic bypass
cfsolver request https://protected-site.com

# Start transparent proxy
cfsolver proxy -P 8080

Python API

CloudflareSolver

The main synchronous client for bypassing Cloudflare challenges.

from cfsolver import CloudflareSolver

# Basic usage with context manager (recommended)
with CloudflareSolver("your-api-key") as solver:
    response = solver.get("https://protected-site.com")
    print(response.status_code)
    print(response.text)

# Without context manager
solver = CloudflareSolver("your-api-key")
response = solver.get("https://protected-site.com")
solver.close()

Supported HTTP Methods

solver.get(url, **kwargs)
solver.post(url, **kwargs)
solver.put(url, **kwargs)
solver.delete(url, **kwargs)
solver.head(url, **kwargs)
solver.options(url, **kwargs)
solver.patch(url, **kwargs)
solver.request(method, url, **kwargs)

All methods accept the same keyword arguments as curl_cffi.requests:

response = solver.post(
    "https://api.example.com/data",
    json={"key": "value"},
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer token"},
    timeout=30,
)

AsyncCloudflareSolver

Async version for use with asyncio:

import asyncio
from cfsolver import AsyncCloudflareSolver

async def main():
    async with AsyncCloudflareSolver("your-api-key") as solver:
        response = await solver.get("https://protected-site.com")
        print(response.text)

asyncio.run(main())

Concurrent Requests

import asyncio
from cfsolver import AsyncCloudflareSolver

async def fetch_all():
    urls = [
        "https://site1.com",
        "https://site2.com",
        "https://site3.com",
    ]
    
    async with AsyncCloudflareSolver("your-api-key") as solver:
        tasks = [solver.get(url) for url in urls]
        responses = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
        
        for url, resp in zip(urls, responses):
            print(f"{url}: {resp.status_code}")

asyncio.run(fetch_all())

Solving Modes

CFSolver supports three solving modes to balance speed and reliability:

Mode 1: Auto-detect (Default, Recommended)

Solves only when a Cloudflare challenge is detected. Best for most use cases.

solver = CloudflareSolver("your-api-key")
# or explicitly:
solver = CloudflareSolver("your-api-key", solve=True, on_challenge=True)

Mode 2: Always Pre-solve

Always solves before each request. Slower but most reliable for heavily protected sites.

solver = CloudflareSolver("your-api-key", solve=True, on_challenge=False)

Mode 3: Disabled

Direct requests only, no challenge solving. Useful for testing or unprotected endpoints.

solver = CloudflareSolver("your-api-key", solve=False)

Turnstile Support

Solve Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA and get the token for form submission:

from cfsolver import CloudflareSolver

with CloudflareSolver("your-api-key") as solver:
    # Get the Turnstile token
    token = solver.solve_turnstile(
        url="https://example.com/login",
        sitekey="0x4AAAAAAA..."  # From cf-turnstile element
    )
    
    # Use the token in your form submission
    response = solver.post(
        "https://example.com/login",
        data={
            "username": "user",
            "password": "pass",
            "cf-turnstile-response": token,
        }
    )

Finding the Sitekey

The sitekey is found in the page's HTML within the cf-turnstile element:

<div class="cf-turnstile" data-sitekey="0x4AAAAAAA..."></div>

Proxy Configuration

Single Proxy for All Requests

solver = CloudflareSolver(
    "your-api-key",
    proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"
)

Separate Proxies for HTTP and API

Use different proxies for your HTTP requests and CloudFlyer API calls:

solver = CloudflareSolver(
    "your-api-key",
    proxy="http://fast-proxy:8080",      # For your HTTP requests
    api_proxy="http://stable-proxy:8081"  # For CloudFlyer API calls
)

Supported Proxy Formats

# HTTP proxy
proxy="http://host:port"
proxy="http://user:pass@host:port"

# HTTPS proxy
proxy="https://host:port"

# SOCKS5 proxy
proxy="socks5://host:port"
proxy="socks5://user:pass@host:port"

---

Transparent Proxy

The transparent proxy automatically detects and solves Cloudflare challenges for any application that supports HTTP proxies, without requiring code changes.

How It Works

1. Start the CFSolver proxy server
2. Configure your application to use the proxy
3. All requests are automatically monitored for Cloudflare challenges
4. When a challenge is detected, it's solved transparently
5. The cf_clearance cookie is cached and reused for subsequent requests

Command Line Usage

# Start proxy on default port 8080
cfsolver proxy

# Custom host and port
cfsolver proxy -H 0.0.0.0 -P 8888

# With upstream proxy (for requests going through another proxy)
cfsolver proxy -X http://upstream:8080
cfsolver proxy -X socks5://upstream:1080

# Disable challenge detection (pure proxy mode)
cfsolver proxy -D

# Disable cookie caching (solve every challenge)
cfsolver proxy -S

Then use the proxy with any HTTP client:

Note: Since the transparent proxy performs HTTPS interception (MITM), you must disable SSL certificate verification.

# curl (use -k to skip certificate verification)
curl -k -x http://127.0.0.1:8080 https://protected-site.com

# wget (use --no-check-certificate to skip certificate verification)
wget --no-check-certificate -e https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8080 https://protected-site.com

# Environment variables
export HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080
curl -k https://protected-site.com

Programmatic Usage

from cfsolver import CloudAPITransparentProxy
import requests

# Using context manager
with CloudAPITransparentProxy(api_key="your-api-key", port=8080) as proxy:
    response = requests.get(
        "https://protected-site.com",
        proxies={
            "http": "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
            "https": "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
        },
        verify=False,  # Required for HTTPS interception
    )
    print(response.text)

# Manual start/stop
proxy = CloudAPITransparentProxy(api_key="your-api-key", port=8080)
proxy.start()

# ... make requests ...

proxy.stop()

Managing cf_clearance Cache

with CloudAPITransparentProxy(api_key="your-api-key", port=8080) as proxy:
    # Pre-set cf_clearance for a host
    proxy.set_cf_clearance("example.com", "Mozilla/5.0...", "cf_clearance_value")
    
    # Get stored cf_clearance
    cf_value = proxy.get_cf_clearance("example.com", "Mozilla/5.0...")
    
    # Clear cache for specific host
    proxy.clear_cf_clearance("example.com")
    
    # Clear all cache
    proxy.clear_cf_clearance()
