Let’s be honest — few things are as annoying as watching your automation script fail just because it ran into a reCAPTCHA challenge. Whether you’re scraping data, automating logins, or testing forms, Google’s CAPTCHA system can bring everything to a halt.

But what if solving reCAPTCHA was as easy as sending an API request?

This guide walks you through a real-world code example of how to bypass reCAPTCHA v2 using CaptchaAI — an advanced CAPTCHA-solving API that turns frustrating puzzles into simple tokens you can use in seconds.

🚧 What You’re Up Against: reCAPTCHA v2

Before jumping into code, let’s understand the problem.

reCAPTCHA v2 comes in two main forms:

• ✅ The checkbox: "I’m not a robot"
   

• 🧩 The image challenge: “Select all boats, buses, or crosswalks”
   

While humans click boxes and pick images, CaptchaAI does it behind the scenes — instantly.

• Flat monthly pricing (no pay-per-solve nonsense)
   

• Support for reCAPTCHA v2, v3, and 27,000+ CAPTCHA types
   

• Fast solving (6–10 seconds on average)
   

• High accuracy, even on image challenges
   

Let’s put it to the test.

🔍 Step 1: Gather the Required Data

To solve reCAPTCHA with CaptchaAI, you need:

• apikey: Your CaptchaAI API key
   

• sitekey: The public reCAPTCHA key on the target site
   

• pageurl: The full URL of the webpage where reCAPTCHA appears
   

🛠️ How to Find the Sitekey

1. Open the webpage with the CAPTCHA
    

2. Right-click → Inspect → Search for data-sitekey
    

3. Example:

 

 

 

Copy the data-sitekey. That’s what we’ll send to the API.

 

🧪 Submit reCAPTCHA Task to CaptchaAI

 

import time

import requests

 

API_KEY = 'your_captchaai_api_key'  # 🔁 Replace with your actual CaptchaAI API key

SITEKEY = '6Lc_example_key'         # ✅ This is the reCAPTCHA site key from the target page

PAGEURL = 'https://example.com/login'  # ✅ The page where the CAPTCHA appears

 

# 🔹 Step 1: Submit the CAPTCHA task

submit_payload = {

    'key': API_KEY,

    'method': 'userrecaptcha',

    'googlekey': SITEKEY,

    'pageurl': PAGEURL,

    'json': 1

}

 

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

submit_result = submit_response.json()

 

if submit_result.get('status') != 1:

    print("❌ Error submitting CAPTCHA:", submit_result.get('request'))

    exit()

 

captcha_id = submit_result['request']

print("✅ CAPTCHA submitted successfully. ID:", captcha_id)

 

# 🔹 Step 2: Poll for the solution

while True:

    time.sleep(5)  # Wait between polls

 

    result_payload = {

        'key': API_KEY,

        'action': 'get',

        'id': captcha_id,

        'json': 1

    }

 

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

    result_data = result_response.json()

 

    if result_data.get('status') == 1:

        solved_token = result_data['request']

        print("✅ CAPTCHA Solved! Token:", solved_token)

        break

    elif result_data.get('request') == 'CAPCHA_NOT_READY':

        print("⏳ Waiting for CAPTCHA to be solved...")

    else:

        print("❌ Error retrieving CAPTCHA result:", result_data.get('request'))

        break

 

# 🔹 Step 3: Use the token in your automation or form submission

# Example using Selenium:

# (inject token to hidden field where g-recaptcha-response is expected)

 

# driver.execute_script("""

#     document.querySelector('textarea[name="g-recaptcha-response"]').style.display = 'block';

#     document.querySelector('textarea[name="g-recaptcha-response"]').value = arguments[0];

# """, solved_token)
