Bet365 is blocking Puppeteer access

@helderppb that isn't a CORS issue. Your "API" requests are being redirected to localhost, which usually means your IP address has been blacklisted. If you try to open Bet365 in your browser (on the same IP) you should only get the frame of the site and no matches or odds.

Hi, @helderppb. I have also been experiencing problems with requests for about an hour. What response are you getting?

[helderppb]

Hi @athuscavalini, it looks like a CORS error. I'm doing a few tests using Puppeteer and also Playwright, but both are showing the same issue.

@artesea No! I’m able to access the website normally using the browser. This issue is happening with other persons as well. Bet365 has made changes on their system to identify headless applications. I use to do the same operations a long time, but now I’m facing this problem. Try to do the process using Puppeteer. Thank you for your attention and response.

Yep, me too. The site opens in the browser but unable to scrape odds.
@helderppb how could you use puppeteer with soccerapi? Considering I am assuming you could make it work.
Thanks

from README

In order to obtain data from Bet365 you need to run a docker which posts on a local server a needed header to make requests to the Bet365 api. The docker run separeately from the api since it is written in JavaScript and it runs a chromedirver to run JavaScript and acquire the header.
Checkout soccerapi-server to install the docker and run it.
