python requests problem: cloudflare error message "enable cookies"
Question
I was planning on creating a basic web scraper for the site Sneakersnstuff.com however my efforts were stopped early due to an error. When requesting to the url https://www.sneakersnstuff.com/ , rather than displaying the html of the website, or even the entrance captcha, I am redirected to a cloudflare page with the error message "enable cookies". Both my code and the response are shown below
import requests
import cfscrape
session = requests.session()
response = session.get('https://www.sneakersnstuff.com/')
print(response.headers)

I have attempted using a library reccomend by many called cfscrape to no avail.

import cloudscraper
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
scraper = cloudscraper.create_scraper()
html = scraper.get("https://www.sneakersnstuff.com/").content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
print(soup)
Output:
cloudscraper.exceptions.CloudflareReCaptchaProvider: Cloudflare reCaptcha detected, unfortunately you haven't loaded an anti reCaptcha provider correctly via the 'recaptcha' parameter.

Adding Browser/User-Agent Filtering to cloudscraper did the trick for me.
import cloudscraper
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# Adding Browser / User-Agent Filtering should help ie.
# will give you only desktop firefox User-Agents on Windows
scraper = cloudscraper.create_scraper(browser={'browser': 'firefox','platform': 'windows','mobile': False})
html = scraper.get("https://www.sneakersnstuff.com/").content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
print(soup)

Scraping CloudFlare-protected websites usually involves using clean proxies, and emulating real browser via solutions like Puppeteer.js.
I encountered the same issue when scraping one ecommerce website (guess dot com). Apparently, CloudFlare analyses the TLS fingerprint of the request and throws 403 (1020) code in case the fingerprint matches node.js/python/curl which are usually used for scraping. The solution is to emulate the fingeprint of some popular browser - and the most obvious way would be to use Puppeteer.js with puppeteer extra stealth plugin. But.. since Puppeteer was not fast enough for my use case (I put it mildly.. Puppeteer is insane in terms of resources and sluggishness) I had to build an utility which uses boringSSL (the SSL lib used by Chrome) - and since compiling C/C++ code and figuring out the cryptic compilation errors of some TLS library is no fun for most of web devs - I wrapped it as an API server, which you can try here: https://rapidapi.com/restyler/api/scrapeninja

When using requests, I solved the issue for me by providing a user agent in the headers that is supported. Before I used a user agent that caused problem. Now I changed it to Mozilla ( Sending "User-agent" using Requests library in Python ) which works.
Unfortunately, the response messages were not really helpful to find out what the issue was.
