cURL - Load a site with CloudFlare protection

php curl cloudflare
Marcin picture Marcin · Aug 29, 2013 · Viewed 40.9k times · Source

I have a site which I want to load using cURL. However, the site I'm talking about is using cloudflare protection. While on cURL request => it says 'checking your browser, you will be redirected in 5 seconds' and I'm getting redirected to the page that doesn't exists because as I think I didn't pass some protection test.

I've been looking for my answer for a long and i found only two useful links:

Link 1

Link 2

But still I can't figure it out. Any help for me?

That would be CloudFlare's I'm Under Attack Mode --> http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-im-under-attack-mode

If you are the owner of the site you should whitelist your own IP address. If you're a visitor to the site either

1.) The website owner has the feature enabled on their own website in which case it's intentional and there is no way around that as they are protecting their website or

2.) You are loading the site too often -- and you're triggering CloudFlare's DDOS protection.

p.s. Disclaimer: I work for CloudFlare.
