Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare “Just a moment…” html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
curl -v --request POST \
--url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'
...
< HTTP/2 403
...
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en-US"><head><title>Just a moment...</title>

You’re not passing cloudflares anti bot challenge. This is known to be a hard problem, as obviously CF is highly motivated to stop bots
then what is the point of allowing bots on lemmy if they can’t work?
Bots on Lemmy are allowed, that’s why the API exists.
Bots on programming.dev seems are not allowed since all endpoints require to pass CF.
