'Coinbase API returns Cloudflare captcha check and fails to execute [closed]
After a year of my server working perfectly fine, since last week, I am no longer able to successfully hit the Coinbase API, even though no code has been changed on my side whatsoever. The response I'm currently getting from all calls, is a HTML page, asking me to complete a captcha. This is of course not possible, so I was hoping if anyone could tell me how to let the API know my calls are genuine.
Anytime I call the list transactions endpoint for example GET https://api.coinbase.com/v2/accounts/:account_id/transactions, this is the response I get:

</html>Which is a HTML captcha verification check from Cloudflare. Contacted their support and they gave the following response:
Thanks for contacting us. Currently, Coinbase is only providing support through our public API documentation. For help utilizing Coinbase’s API, please use the API key resource/guides found here: https://www.coinbase.com/cloud
If this API is actually usable, then why is there a Cloudflare verification check? Am I doing something wrong from my end? Can anyone from Coinbase kindly look into this and offer a professional response/solution?
