Always 403 Forbidden on 1337x?

The http://localhost:8009/api/v1/search?site=1337x&query=avengers page was loading for a long time. So I went ahead and printed out the response:

This is the logs:

Are you able to query 1337x? I was using a tor proxy though. 1337x is blocked by default in my country. It could be that it is doing some Cloudflare verification. Will debug more.

Okay, indeed that was the case.
