API access by custom application fails with 403 Forbidden

[klightspeed]

Similar issues so I tried coding my own uploader and ran into so many issues, think cloud flair is being overly aggressive.

tried multiple IPs
tried VPN exit nodes
tried browser‑initiated requests
tried header spoofing
tried session cookies
tried minimal payloads
tried different user agents
Cloudflare still returned: 403 — Attention Required YAY!

This was all with standard POST to /api-journal-v1 with commander name, API key, and journal event payload.
