# Captcha Solving

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:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

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

{% endcode %}

### Auto Solve Integration Examples

```bash
curl --request GET --url "https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2F2captcha.com%2Fdemo%2Frecaptcha-v2-callback&render_js=1&device=none&auto_solve=1&wait_for_css=p[class*=_successMessage]&timeout=60000"
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="NodeJS" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```javascript

  "headers": {}
};

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

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {

Sometimes, the device emulation can break the CAPTCHA solving feature, resulting in request timeouts. For these cases, we recommend disabling the device emulation by using the `device=none` configuration.
