[Bug]: Nothing works due to Cloudflare check about faapi HOT 5 CLOSED

Yup, FA was under cloudflare anti-bot protection for about 12 hours today (and 8 hours on a couple previous days)
I've spotted sharp spikes in the number of online users before these blackouts, so I suspect they're getting hit by some DDoS attacks.

It should be available again now though

Yes, it is caused by the CloudFlare challenge on FA. Alas there is nothing that can be done on this side.

I have already updated the FAAPI class to take a session_class argument when initializing, so you can use that with a library that solves the CF challenge as long as their object inherits from requests.Session.

You can also take a look at #9. The problem was the same and we solved it by manually changing the cookies in a browser to "whitelist" the IP.

Duplicate of #9

Thank for the suggestion of a CloudFlare-specific exception, I will add it.

Thanks for the update @Deer-Spangle :)

I re-ran the tests and it is working again now!
