Cloudflare Bypass for Small Sites and Hobby Projects

The Problem

Hobby projects and side-income scrapers keep hitting Cloudflare challenge pages. The commercial bypass vendors (Bright Data, Scraping Fish) charge $50-$500 minimums, which kills the economics of a $20/mo hobby project. Developers abandon projects because the infrastructure cost overshoots the revenue.

The Scavio Solution

Scavio's free tier (1000 searches/mo) covers most hobby-scale needs, including Cloudflare-protected targets. For small paid projects, pay-as-you-go starts at $0. Scavio handles Cloudflare challenges internally; you just call the API. Your $20/mo side project stays profitable.

Who It Is For

Solo developers, indie hackers, and hobby-project builders who need Cloudflare bypass without enterprise minimums.

Key Benefits

• Free tier includes Cloudflare-protected targets
• No minimum spend; pay-as-you-go from $0
• Hobby-friendly documentation and Discord community
• Scales to enterprise if the project grows
• Same API across hobby, side-income, and enterprise tiers

Python Example

import os, requests
# Free tier: 1000 searches/mo, no credit card
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}

def fetch_protected(target):
    r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search',
        headers=H, json={'query': f'site:{target}'})
    return r.json().get('organic_results', [])

print(fetch_protected('cloudflare-protected-site.com'))

JavaScript Example

// Free tier: 1000 searches/mo, no credit card
const H = { 'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'content-type': 'application/json' };

async function fetchProtected(target) {
  const r = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {
    method: 'POST', headers: H, body: JSON.stringify({ query: 'site:' + target })
  }).then(r => r.json());
  return r.organic_results || [];
}

console.log(await fetchProtected('cloudflare-protected-site.com'));
