When i try to add a trakt list to sonarr i authenticate it and everything works fine. When i try to save the list it returns

> “Unable to connect to import list: HTTP request failed: [403:Forbidden] [GET] at [[https://api.trakt.tv/users/XXX/lists/shows/items/show,season,episode?limit=200\\\\](https://api.trakt.tv/users/XXX/lists/shows/items/show,season,episode?limit=200%5C%5C%5C%5C)]. Check the log surrounding this error for details.”

It appears Cloudflare is blocking it. Is there any way around this?

And the logs from sonarr show this:

But the list is public and can be seen from another browser not logged in,

Thank you
