Curl-impersonate: Special build of curl that can impersonate the major browsers

There's a fork of this that has some great improvements over to the top of the original and it is also actively maintained: https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate

There's also Python bindings for the fork for anyone who uses Python: https://github.com/lexiforest/curl_cffi

I suppose it does make sense that a "make curl look like a browser" program would get sponsored by "bypass bot detection" services...

Easy. Just make a small fragment shader to produce a token in your client. No bot is going to waste GPU resources to compile your shader.

Why do people even think this? Bots almost always just use headful instrumented browsers now. if a human sitting at a keyboard can load the content, so can a bot.

We are talking about Curl bots here. How is what you are saying relevant?
