Cloudflare introduces “Pay per Crawl”, using HTTP code 402: Payment Required. This their way of trying to limit AI bots from scraping your site and getting content creators paid in the process.

Not a bad idea, but no mention of #ecash as a bearer token. Scrapers have to register on Cloudflare and enter payment information. Totally inefficient and of course KYC.
