How Can I Download All My Codeforces Submissions Without Manual Effort?
By Snakefoot, history, 2 months ago, In English

Recently, I attempted to upload my old accepted submissions to GitHub—over 800 in total—so I decided to use a web scraper to streamline the process. I followed a project referenced in this blog, but it was blocked by Cloudflare's anti-bot captcha.

It seems Codeforces recently upgraded its security to prevent AI scrapers and mitigate DOS attacks.

My question is: Is there a way to download all my submissions from Codeforces without having to do it manually, one by one?

    That's just the status not the code (it describes my submissions, its status and metadata), I want my actual submission code. In the blog I mentioned there, that link is used to know which submission to fetch. but fetching the actual submission is what is protected by cf's cloudflare.
