How to solve captcha when automating the web
From time to time, you may need to interact with and solve Captchas. You can do this manually or we provide an integration with a service called 2Captcha. You may also wish to try our anti bot blocking settings.
# How to solve captcha with 2Captcha
To solve captchas, use the Solve Captcha step. To add this step, use the Step Finder to search for "solve" and then add the "Solve Captcha" step. Once added, configure the step. You will need to register for a 2Captcha account to use this widget, and there is a small charge per captcha successfully solved by the service.
How
- Set up your 2Captcha account (opens new window).
- Enter your 2Captcha API key into the step.
This widget supports the following captchas: reCAPTCHA v2, reCAPTCHA v3. To learn more, click here.
# Manually solve captchas
You can use our Desktop app to interact with your bots. This is called attended automation. When the Captcha is triggered, interact and solve it. You may wish to add in a Wait step at the trigger point.
# Solve captchas with anti-bot blocking measures
We have an anti-bot blocking feature that may resolve your captcha issues and prevent the captcha from ever showing, thus it does not need to be solved.
