Question - Does Brave API work with sites with anti-robot checks that more and more sites have.

Discussion

This is a noob question, but I've never used Brave API, and haven't really wanted to give a credit card just to try it without knowing what to expect.

I know in recent years, more and more sites implement all sorts of anti-robot captchas, or cloudflare checks to verify you are human. Sometimes they might be when actually signing up for accounts but often times I see either a captcha or cloudflare check just when visiting a site.

Yet brave API is designed specifically to be LLM and agentic friendly.

Isn't that sort of a conflict of interest (for lack of a better term). How exactly are sites with those sort of checks handled by a Brave API based search?
