Being challenged by cloudflare when attempting to access a public API
I'm a developer attempting to use the Fightcade Public API (on https://www.fightcade.com/api/) to retrieve match information. All was working great until an outtage in late october. Since then, cloudflare on this server seems to have gone into a hyper agressive mode, challenging any attempt to access the public api.
Being at a loss for how to proceed and the fightcade developers not responding to anyone's requests for assistance, I thought I'd turn here to see if there were any suggestions or server setting issues that would be causing this.
I don't have access, nor am I affiliated with fightcade, I'm just a user of their public api and getting stonewalled by a cloudflare challenge that popped up in late october after the cloudflare issues then.

TLDR: Contact the site owner.
The site owner has configured Cloudflare to block you.
- Try reaching out to the site owner via alternative channels (Twitter, Discord, Forums, ...) or email info@<the domain>. We cannot help you get in touch with them.
- Include your Ray ID when contacting them. The Ray ID is should be located at the bottom of the block page. This will help the site owner identify why you were blocked.
Nobody in this server or any Cloudflare employee will be able to help you. Cloudflare will not overwrite the configuration of the site owner, so please reach out to them instead.
^Above should also apply for challenge pages.
gotcha. thanks. I'll keep poking them. it's been about a month and none of us have been able to get them to respond
