Since 12:12 today the Cloudflare has been rejecting all api requests that don't run in a browser. It's returning an HTML page stating that:

"This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed
triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data."

The try it page works, and so do tools that run in the browser like TornTools, but everything else is blocked.
This seems to affect everyone equally regardless of API key and IP address. YATA and the UHC discord bot are both affected for example.

We were attempting a change to mitigate some of the DDoS attacks that we saw couple days, unfortunately it also took out legitimate API requests, so we had to undo the change. Things should be back to normal.

Thanks!
