Captcha Solving

Bypass the Captcha challenges on highly protected websites.

Avoid getting your API requests blocked by using auto_solve=1 and enabling the automatic Captcha solving mechanism. Once activated, it requires a CSS selector to wait for, provided by the wait_for_css parameter. This way, all the intermediary page navigation are automatically handled.

Your full GET request should then be sent to the following address:

https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=<TARGETED_URL>&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=<CSS_SELECTOR>>

Auto Solve Integration Examples

cURL

curl --request GET --url "https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=%23desktop-grid-1"

NodeJS

const http = require("https");

const options = {
  "method": "GET",
  "hostname": "api.webscrapingapi.com",
  "port": null,
  "path": "/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=%23desktop-grid-1",
  "headers": {}
};

const req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  const chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {
    const body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(body.toString());
  });
});

req.end();

Python

import requests

API_KEY = '<YOUR_API_KEY>'
SCRAPER_URL = 'https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1'

TARGET_URL = 'https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha'

PARAMS = {
    "api_key":API_KEY,
    "url": TARGET_URL,
    "render_js": 1,
    "auto_solve": 1,
    "wait_for_css": "%23desktop-grid-1"
}

response = requests.get(SCRAPER_URL, params=PARAMS)

print(response.text)

PHP

<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=%23desktop-grid-1",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
  echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
  echo $response;
}

Go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"io/ioutil"
)

func main() {

	url := "https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=%23desktop-grid-1"

	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)

	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

	defer res.Body.Close()
	body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

	fmt.Println(res)
	fmt.Println(string(body))

}

Java

HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest.get("https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=%23desktop-grid-1")
  .asString();

.NET

var client = new RestClient("https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=%23desktop-grid-1");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

Ruby

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=%23desktop-grid-1")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body

Important! The url parameter has to be encoded.

( i.e. &url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Ferrors%2FvalidateCaptcha )
