Python's requests triggers Cloudflare's security while accessing etherscan.io

I am trying to parse/scrape https://etherscan.io/tokens website using requests in Python but I get the following error:

etherscan.io

Checking if the site connection is secure

etherscan.io needs to review the security of your connection before

Now, I found a solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62687390/4190159 but when I try to use this solution, I am still not being able to read the actual content of the website and getting a different error stated below.

My code as follows:

import requests
from collections import OrderedDict
from requests import Session
import socket

answers = socket.getaddrinfo('etherscan.io', 443)
(family, type, proto, canonname, (address, port)) = answers[0]
s = Session()
headers = OrderedDict({
    'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
    'Host': "grimaldis.myguestaccount.com",
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0'
})
s.headers = headers
response = s.get(f"https://{address}/tokens", headers=headers, verify=False).text
print(response)

Error for the above code as follows:

How to resolve this?

>Solution :

The website is under cloudflare protection. So you can use cloudscraper instead of requests to get rid of the protection. Now it’s working fine.

Example:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import cloudscraper
scraper = cloudscraper.create_scraper(delay=10,   browser={'custom': 'ScraperBot/1.0',})
url = 'https://etherscan.io/tokens'
req = scraper.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(req.content,'lxml')
for tr in soup.select('table#tblResult tbody tr'):
    d= list(tr.stripped_strings)
    print(d)

Output:
