Cloudflare interfacing all apps

[jamiekarvans]

hi i'm using rentry in my python apps and all of them stopped working since now all the raw urls first go to cloudflare and then the rentry.
this happened before as well, can we know when will this get fixed?

Hi,

Sorry about this - we had to introduce Cloudflare quickly as people were abusing the raw code version to host malware snippets, getting us in serious daily trouble with our registrar, our hosts and getting the site temporarily banned on Opera and Verizon. This also happened while I was in the hospital helping my partner give birth, so not the greatest timing.

I will be introducing a better solution as soon as possible. Likely, this will be a way to request a code from us over email, which you can use on your pages in a new metadata option, which will enable the page for proper /raw/ fetching, as this will allow us to separate out the bad actors a little better.

Any other suggestions are welcome at this point also.

congratulations on your new baby, wish you the best times to come.

thanks for trying to work around the issue, how can we recieve the code to use in metadata?

[radude]

Thank you! I have a solution in place now, will release next week after final testing. You will need to email us to get a code and it will be usable in metadata and also as a custom header to access any page's /raw.

I can confirm that the API is now working when providing a code. Thank you very much for the update!
