CAPTCHAs are a common security feature used by websites to prevent bots and automated tools from interacting with their services. However, for developers working on legitimate automation tools or testing environments, solving CAPTCHAs programmatically can be essential.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to solve CAPTCHAs using CaptchaAI — an advanced CAPTCHA-solving platform that supports over 27,500 CAPTCHA types including reCAPTCHA, image-based CAPTCHAs, and more.

🧠 What is CaptchaAI?

CaptchaAI is a powerful CAPTCHA-solving API designed for developers, testers, and automation engineers. It offers:

• Support for reCAPTCHA v2/v3, Solve Media, and others
   

• A simple HTTP-based API
   

• High accuracy with fast response times
   

• Monthly subscription pricing (not pay-per-captcha)
   

• Multithreaded solving for bulk use

🛠️ How It Works

CaptchaAI provides an API key which you use to send CAPTCHA challenges to their service. The server processes the CAPTCHA and returns the solution — often in just a few seconds.

The general flow looks like this:

1. Capture the CAPTCHA (image, sitekey, or challenge)
    

2. Send it to CaptchaAI’s API
    

3. Get the solved text/token in the response

🚀 Solving a Simple Image CAPTCHA

import requests

import base64

import time



# Step 1: Read image and encode to base64

with open("captcha.jpg", "rb") as image_file:

    base64_image = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode()



# Step 2: Prepare payload for CaptchaAI

payload = {

    'key': 'YOUR_CAPTCHA_AI_KEY',     # Replace with your real API key

    'method': 'base64',               # Required method for base64 image solving

    'body': base64_image,             # Base64-encoded image

    'json': 1                         # Ask for JSON response

}



# Step 3: Send CAPTCHA for solving

try:

    response = requests.post('https://ocr.captchaai.com/in.php', data=payload)

    result = response.json()

except Exception as e:

    print("Request failed:", e)

    exit()



# Step 4: Handle submission response

if result['status'] == 1:

    captcha_id = result['request']

    print(f"CAPTCHA submitted successfully. ID: {captcha_id}")



    # Step 5: Polling for the result

    while True:

        time.sleep(5)

        res = requests.get('https://ocr.captchaai.com/res.php', params={

            'key': payload['key'],

            'action': 'get',

            'id': captcha_id,

            'json': 1

        })



        result = res.json()



        if result['status'] == 1:

            print("✅ CAPTCHA Solved:", result['request'])

            break

        elif result['request'] == 'CAPCHA_NOT_READY':

            print("⏳ Waiting for result...")

        else:

            print("❌ Error:", result['request'])

            break

else:

    print("❌ Submission Error:", result['request'])

🔓 Solving reCAPTCHA

CaptchaAI also supports token-based CAPTCHAs like:

• reCAPTCHA v2
   

• reCAPTCHA v3

To solve these, you send:

• Your API key
   

• The website URL
   

• The sitekey (provided in the CAPTCHA HTML)
   

And you receive a token that can be used in the CAPTCHA response field.

💵 Pricing Overview

Unlike many CAPTCHA solvers that charge per request, CaptchaAI uses flat-rate monthly pricing:

This makes it affordable for developers who need consistent, high-volume CAPTCHA solving.

⚠️ Responsible Use

CAPTCHA bypassing should be used ethically and legally. Make sure your usage complies with the website’s terms of service and local laws.

✅ Conclusion

CaptchaAI is a reliable and developer-friendly CAPTCHA-solving platform. Whether you're building automation tools, scraping public data, or testing form submissions, CaptchaAI can save you hours of manual work.
