This is an automation tool designed to streamline the process of solving Google reCAPTCHAs using the anti-captcha.com service. Solving reCAPTCHAs allows you to scrape reCAPTCHA-protected websites.
There is demo credits; they are fully automatic: Demo credit request page.
Note that if the system does not accept your phone number, we can't change it or provide credit manually.
DO NOT ASK to provide you a demo credit without the phone number. No phone number = no demo credits!
If you're web scraping and your scraper is unable to solve the reCAPTCHA, your bot might be blocked by the website. This actor should make it easier to solve that issue by automating the use of the Anti Captcha service.
Anti-CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA is super efficient, so it will only consume the bare minimum of platform usage credits. That gives you plenty of scope to try it out with your $5 credits on the Free Apify plan.
The first input field needed is a key from anti-captcha.com. You can find CAPTCHA_DATA_SITEKEY on the protected website. It is usually in a "data-sitekey" attribute in an element with a "G-reCAPTCHA" class or ID.
The input page in JavaScript should look like this:
{
"key": ANTI_CAPTCHA_KEY,
"webUrl": PROTECTED_WEBSITE_URL,
"siteKey": CAPTCHA_DATA_SITEKEY
}
The output consists of the resulting G-reCAPTCHA-response, which you have to send the same way the protected website would. Usually, you can send it in the form of input with name="G-reCAPTCHA-response".
Some sites may require the CAPTCHA to be solved from the same IP address and/or browser. In this case, it is possible to use the following input attributes (in addition to the default ones).
"proxyType": "http",
"proxyAddress": "8.8.8.8",
"proxyPort": 8080,
"proxyLogin": "theLogin",
"proxyPassword": "thePassword",
"userAgent": "Opera 6.0",
"cookies": "name=value; name2=value2"
You must have an anti-captcha.com subscription to use this actor. Only by being subscribed to the service can you get the key you need for this automation actor to work. Without the anti-captcha.com key, running the actor will result in an error.
