About Cloudflare Turnstile
Turnstile is a feature provided by Cloudflare, a company known for its web performance and online security services. It's a tool that blocks access to users for different reasons and includes all automated traffic. That becomes a challenge for web scraping activities because Cloudflare introduces advanced cyber security systems, and about 1/4 of the websites use it.
How Cloudflare Turnstile Works
Turnstile is part of Cloudflare's CDN (Content Delivery Network), which acts as a reverse proxy. That means users must access the website content through Cloudflare's servers, which act as a gatekeeper and decide who can enter and who isn't welcome.
When Turnstile wants to restrict web page access, it displays a challenge to the visitor in the form of a CAPTCHA. If the challenge is solved, Turnstile might allow you to access the page's content you were trying to access.
Detection Techniques used by Cloudflare Turnstile
Cloudflare Turnstile uses various challenges to tell bots apart from real users. When a user tries to access a Turnstile-protected website, Cloudflare displays an invisible puzzle, which the user’s browser must solve before accessing the destination website.
The challenges often involve proof of work puzzles, device space analysis, and web API probes, which a bot cannot solve naturally. Cloudflare Turnstile also customizes the challenge difficulty based on individual user behavior, making it hard for automated scraping scripts to sneak through its defense.
Cloudflare Turnstile: Types of CAPTCHAs
Cloudflare Turnstile doesn't usually show the traditional interactive CAPTCHAs. Instead, it employs non-visual puzzles behind the scenes to verify real users and only shows a visible CAPTCHA box occasionally. Turnstile challenges are unpredictable, making it difficult for bots to bypass.
How to Solve Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHAs
You can encounter the Turnstile challenge while accessing any web page, ranging from product pages to those containing comments and login forms. The backstory is that Cloudflare Turnstile will block you from obtaining the data you need if you don't solve it.
An easy way to solve the Turnstile challenge and forget about getting blocked is to integrate your scraper with ZenRows, the most popular web scraping solution.
How to Bypass Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHAs
For a Cloudflare Turnstile bypass, you must know Cloudflare uses different protection levels on different websites. That being said, the difficulty in accessing different web pages on the same website can vary. For example, a homepage is usually less protected than product pages, and those are typically less protected than other ones.
If you're looking for an easy way to get access to any web page on the internet, regardless of its level of protection, ZenRows is the most popular tool for that, and it's compatible with any programming language.
