Please be friendly to remote judging services

Codeforces has recently adopted Cloudflare for security reasons. As a consequence, it brought some trouble to some remote judging providers. For example, the most popular ones, Vjudge and Luogu, can no longer scrape problem statements. Many Chinese competitve programmers are used to submitting Codeforces problem remotely, either to look for translation or to track their progress.

Although bot accounts do cause problems (topping the 'Most solved' page), they never become dominant. Instead, remote judging services are just like CLI clients, they only increases the popularity of Codeforces. Users of remote judging services make up a large part of Codeforces contestants. Codeforces has always been generous and provides an extensive set of APIs, which is uncommon among online judges. So I don't think Codeforces is cracking down on remote juding services on propose.

Is it possible for Codeforces to release an API for problem statements or specially treat bot accounts? Please be friendly to remote judging services.
