Installation

This package can be installed with Pip:

pip3 install 2captcha-python

Configuration

TwoCaptcha instance can be created like this:

from twocaptcha import TwoCaptcha

solver = TwoCaptcha('YOUR_API_KEY')

Also, there are a few options that can be configured:

config = {
            'server':           '2captcha.com',
            'apiKey':           'YOUR_API_KEY',
            'softId':            123,
            'callback':         'https://your.site/result-receiver',
            'defaultTimeout':    120,
            'recaptchaTimeout':  600,
            'pollingInterval':   10,
        }
solver = TwoCaptcha(**config)

TwoCaptcha instance options

Option	Default value	Description
server	2captcha.com	API server. You can set it to rucaptcha.com if your account is registered there
softId	4580	your software ID obtained after publishing in 2captcha software catalog
callback	-	URL of your web server that receives the captcha recognition result. The URL should be first registered in pingback settings of your account
defaultTimeout	120	Polling timeout in seconds for all captcha types except reCAPTCHA. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from the res.php API endpoint
recaptchaTimeout	600	Polling timeout for reCAPTCHA in seconds. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from the res.php API endpoint
pollingInterval	10	Interval in seconds between requests to the res.php API endpoint. Setting values less than 5 seconds is not recommended

[!IMPORTANT] Once callback is defined for the TwoCaptcha instance, all methods return only the captcha ID and DO NOT poll the API to get the result. The result will be sent to the callback URL.

To get the answer manually use get_result method

Solve captcha

When you submit any image-based CAPTCHA, you can provide additional options to help 2captcha workers solve it properly.

Captcha options

Option	Default Value	Description
numeric	0	Defines if the captcha contains numeric or other symbols see more info in the API docs
minLen	0	minimal answer length
maxLen	0	maximum answer length
phrase	0	defines if the answer contains multiple words or not
caseSensitive	0	defines if the answer is case sensitive
calc	0	defines captcha requires calculation
lang	-	defines the captcha language; see the list of supported languages
hintImg	-	an image with a hint shown to workers with the captcha
hintText	-	hint or task text shown to workers with the captcha

Below, you can find basic examples for every captcha type. Check out examples directory for more examples with all available options.

                           pageurl='https://demo.mycybersiara.com/',
                           userAgent='Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/128.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
                           param1=..., ...)

Other methods

send / get_result

These methods can be used for manual captcha submission and answer polling. The send() method supports sending any captcha type, to specify the captcha type you must send value method manually, for example method='hcaptcha' for solving hCapthca. You can find the value of the method parameter in the API documentation.

Example for solving Normal captcha manually:

import time
. . . . . 


id = solver.send(file='path/to/captcha.jpg')
time.sleep(20)

code = solver.get_result(id)

Example for solving hCaptcha manually:

import time
. . . . . 
id = solver.send(sitekey='41b778e7-8f20-45cc-a804-1f1ebb45c579',
                 url='https://2captcha.com/demo/hcaptcha?difficulty=easy',
                 method='hcaptcha')
print(id)
time.sleep(20)
code = solver.get_result(id)

balance

^{API method description.}

Use this method to get your account's balance

balance = solver.balance()

report

^{API method description.}

Use this method to report good or bad captcha answers.

solver.report(id, True) # captcha solved correctly
solver.report(id, False) # captcha solved incorrectly

Error handling

In case of an error, the captcha solver throws an exception. It's important to properly handle these cases. We recommend using try except to handle exceptions. The list of all errors can be found in the API documentation.

try:
    result = solver.text('If tomorrow is Saturday, what day is today?')
except ValidationException as e:
    # invalid parameters passed
	print(e)
except NetworkException as e:
	# network error occurred
	print(e)
except ApiException as e:
    # api respond with error
	print(e)
except TimeoutException as e:
    # captcha is not solved so far
	print(e)

Proxies

You can pass your proxy as an additional argument for the following methods: recaptcha, funcaptcha, geetest, geetest v4, hcaptcha, keycaptcha, capy puzzle, lemin, atbcaptcha, turnstile, amazon waf, mtcaptcha, friendly captcha, cutcaptcha, Tencent, DataDome, cybersiara.

The proxy will be forwarded to the API to solve the captcha.

We have our own proxies that we can offer you. Buy residential proxies to avoid restrictions and blocks. Quick start.

proxy={
    'type': 'HTTPS',
    'uri': 'login:password@IP_address:PORT'
}

Async calls

You can also make async calls with asyncio, for example:

import asyncio
import concurrent.futures
from twocaptcha import TwoCaptcha

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
image = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoA..."

async def captchaSolver(image):
    loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
    with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as pool:
        result = await loop.run_in_executor(pool, lambda: TwoCaptcha(API_KEY).normal(image))
        return result

captcha_result = asyncio.run(captchaSolver(image))

Examples

Examples of solving all supported captcha types are located in the examples directory.

Examples using Selenium

Also we have a separate repository you can find examples of captcha solving using Selenium library. At the moment we have implemented examples of bypassing reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, normal captcha (image captcha) and text captcha using Selenium.
