AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'

Before creating an issue, first upgrade cfscrape with pip install -U cfscrape and see if you're still experiencing the problem. Please also confirm your Node version (node --version or nodejs --version) is version 10 or higher.

Make sure the website you're having issues with is actually using anti-bot protection by Cloudflare and not a competitor like Imperva Incapsula or Sucuri. And if you're using an anonymizing proxy, a VPN, or Tor, Cloudflare often flags those IPs and may block you or present you with a captcha as a result.

Please confirm the following statements and check the boxes before creating an issue:

• [X] I've upgraded cfscrape with pip install -U cfscrape
• [X] I'm using Node version 10 or higher
• [X] The site protection I'm having issues with is from Cloudflare
• [X] I'm not using Tor, a VPN, or an anonymizing proxy

I'm getting this too.

I have the same problem I can see it is because cloudflare changed its challenge code, but in the other reports they have not managed to find the correct challenge :(

URL: https://animeflv.net

Code

import cfscrape
cf = cfscrape.create_scraper()
print( cf.get('https://animeflv.net').content )
