Cloudflare is a great solution to protect your hosted website - it's so great, in fact, that we ate Remarkety use it as well!
In some cases, however, Cloudflare can get in the way. Specifically, Remarkety's calls to your website's API, which we use to synchronize data, may get flagged by Cloudflare as requiring further user authentication, which our server cannot do (Cloudflare is explicitly created to block bots, after all..)
To make sure that Remarkety can access your server's API endpoint, you should whitelist our specific IP's within Cloudflare.
Please refer to the following references for the most recent information:
