I have a bot that i've made to register users for a mobile app, (using bot because of API restrictions) but the bot gets stopped by the cloudfare captcha, does anyone know how what settings I can change to allow it through in the free plan
#(free plan) How to allow my own bot without it getting stopped by captcha

Please check your security events to find out which security feature caused the challenge.

I've got the firewall events,
the first time it was botfight.

If your Bot has a static IP, you can allow it with an IP Access Rule.
If not, disable BFM.

one of the other workaround can be making a random header key on the bot, and set allow(skip) rule for that header on WAF.

bot does have static ip,
We've tried allowing access for the IP and a custom user agent, but still pops up with the captcha
BFM off does work, for now we will keep it off, but would appreciate other suggestions to try when its enabled

That sounds like you created a WAF Custom Rule instead of an IP Access Rule.

I don't personally have access to the dashboard. this is what i know was done

Yes, that's a WAF Custom Rule, which can't be used to skip BFM.

would you mind sending a screenshot of where to create the IP Access Rule?
so i can forward it

thx, I'll pass this along and see if it works.
