I am trying to verify a smart contract in Ropsten automatically with Python but Cloudflare is blocking me (I get a 403 asking me to complete a Captcha). Is there a way to bypass this?

url = 'https://api-ropsten.etherscan.io/api'
data = {
    'apikey': ETHERSCAN_API_KEY,
    'module': 'contract',
    'action': 'verifysourcecode',
    'contractaddress': address,
    'sourceCode': content,
    'contractname': 'MyToken',
    'compilerversion': 'v0.8.4+commit.c7e474f2',
    'optimizationUsed': '1',
    'evmversion': '',
    'licenseType': '3',
}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8'}
result = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)

  • Use high quality IP address. Your IP address is likely greylisted by CloudFlare because there has been too much malicious activity from your IP address or IP address block.

    Using other tools such as truffle-verify locally works fine. That's node.js but it uses the same API. I also tried verifying with Python from a server and I get a 403

You could try installing a python module named cloudscraper, which will help you bypass the captcha verification process. You will use cloudscraper to create an object which will send your POST request.
