If you don't want payment, there is:

https://anubis.techaro.lol/

Used by https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/ for example. It is less annoying than CAPTCHA/Turnstile/whatever because the proof of work runs automatically.

Sadly they seem to be getting through this one lately. Had a scraper hitting me with 80 qps punching straight through Anubis. Had to set up a global rate limit that browned out the functionality they were interested in[1] in excessive load.

    Probably headless chrome. I'm going to investigate.

      They were hitting me at an incredible rate sustained load for like a week, seems like a lot of resources if it is indeed headless chrome.

      Is there anything I can extract, fingerprint wise, if they come back to work out what's going on?
