    I could do that, but the thing is, I need the data from multiple (quite a lot of) exchanges, for example this one as well:

    https://bittrex.com/home/markets

    When I try to import their data, I get exactly the same error, even though there is no CloudFlare redirection.

    As you suggested, I could give them an email and ask for the permission to scrape the data, but that would take way too long, these exchanges are overwhelmed by the amount of new customers and issues of existing ones, I am pretty sure I would not receive a positive answer anywhere soon, therefore, I am asking if there is any other option to do this?
    Maybe use some special web scraping application as an intermediary and then import data from that application to excel? (I need excel in order to perform calculations).

    Given what it says on their site, it would be unethical of us to help you to get their data in any other way. You cannot make the assumption that it will take too long: if your reasons for wanting their data are legitimate, you need to contact them. Please do so.
