API Access Denied #360

Open thewhiteh4t opened 7 months ago

It looks like your API has been put behind cloudflare ddos protection, due to this API calls are getting 403 access denied

To replicate:

access https://ctftime.org/api/v1/top/2014/

in an incognito tab, CF 5 seconds page will appear and then the data will load

Expectation :

api calls should resolve directly without CF in between or some other security oriented solution which can be adapted programmatically.
