Image CAPTCHA - Surfsky

The image solver reads the CAPTCHA image on your page and returns the text. Given the answer field, it also types the answer there.

Before you start

Create a page-level CDP session with the CAPTCHA setup. Each solve is charged.

Manual solving

After navigating, point the solver at the image and the answer field. Replace the selectors with those the site uses:

result = await cdp.send("Captcha.solve", {
    "type": "image",
    "timeout": 60000,
    "options": {"selector": "img.captcha", "input": "input[name='captcha']"},
})
if result.get("status") != "success":
    raise RuntimeError(result)
await cdp.send("Human.click", {"selector": "button[type='submit']"})

const result = await cdp.send("Captcha.solve", {
  type: "image",
  timeout: 60000,
  options: { selector: "img.captcha", input: "input[name='captcha']" },
});
if (result.status !== "success") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(result));
await cdp.send("Human.click", { selector: "button[type='submit']" });

result = await browser.send("Captcha.solve", {
    "type": "image",
    "timeout": 60000,
    "options": {"selector": "img.captcha", "input": "input[name='captcha']"},
})
if result.get("status") != "success":
    raise RuntimeError(result)
await browser.click("button[type='submit']")

const result = await browser.send("Captcha.solve", {
  type: "image",
  timeout: 60000,
  options: { selector: "img.captcha", input: "input[name='captcha']" },
});
if (result.status !== "success") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(result));
await browser.click("button[type='submit']");

Option	Meaning
`options.selector`	Required. CSS selector of the image: an `<img>`, a `<canvas>`, or an element with a CSS background image.
`options.input`	Optional. CSS selector of the field the answer is typed into. Without it, the answer is only returned in `solution`.

Keep the image visible and uncovered until the command returns. Automatic mode is not supported for image.

Check the result

Result	Meaning
`success`	`solution` holds the text.
`failed`	The text was not recognized. Not charged.
`timeout`	Your `timeout` ran out. Not charged.
CDP error `Image captcha requires options.selector, the CSS selector of the image`	`options.selector` is missing or not a string.

Recognition can succeed while the website rejects the answer. Wait for the site’s submission result; a site that rejects the answer usually shows a new image, so send Captcha.solve again. See CAPTCHA troubleshooting.
