Usage example with ReCAPTCHA demo site

from selenium_recaptcha_solver import RecaptchaSolver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options


test_ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 4.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2049.0 Safari/537.36'

options = Options()

options.add_argument("--headless")  # Remove this if you want to see the browser (Headless makes the chromedriver not have a GUI)
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")

options.add_argument(f'--user-agent={test_ua}')

options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")

test_driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

solver = RecaptchaSolver(driver=test_driver)

test_driver.get('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo')

recaptcha_iframe = test_driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//iframe[@title="reCAPTCHA"]')

solver.click_recaptcha_v2(iframe=recaptcha_iframe)

You can check a detailed use case in the tests folder of this project (Its execution is shown below in the demonstration chapter).

Demonstration

Avoiding detection

To decrease your chances of ReCAPTCHA detecting automated queries, try the following:

• Use a custom user-agent header (Make sure it's not a headless user-agent!)
• Use a hard-to-detect web driver
• Use proxies to avoid IP blacklisting

An example of a good user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 4.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2049.0 Safari/537.36

An example of a bad user-agent: are Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) HeadlessChrome/92.0.4512.0 Safari/537.36

Note the last part of the user-agent; the headless specification is usually there.
