TikTok Captcha Solver API
This project is the SadCaptcha TikTok Captcha Solver API client.
The purpose is to make integrating SadCaptcha into your Selenium, Playwright, or Async Playwright app as simple as one line of code.
Instructions for integrating with Selenium, Playwright, and Async Playwright are described below in their respective sections.
This API also works on mobile devices.
This tool works on both TikTok and Douyin and can solve any of the four captcha challenges pictured below:
Requirements
- Python >= 3.10
- If using Selenium - Selenium properly installed and in
PATH
- If using Playwright - Playwright must be properly installed with
playwright install
- If using mobile - Appium and opencv must be properly installed
- Stealth plugin - You must use the appropriate
stealth
plugin for whichever browser automation framework you are using.
Installation
This project can be installed with pip
. Just run the following command:
pip install tiktok-captcha-solver
Selenium Client
Import the package, set up the SeleniumSolver
class, and call it whenever you need.
This turns the entire captcha detection, solution, retry, and verification process into a single line of code.
It is the recommended method if you are using selenium.
from tiktok_captcha_solver import SeleniumSolver
from selenium_stealth import stealth
import undetected_chromedriver as uc
driver = uc.Chrome(headless=False)
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
sadcaptcha = SeleniumSolver(driver, api_key)
sadcaptcha.solve_captcha_if_present()
It is crucial that you use undetected_chromedriver
with the default configuration, instead of the standard Selenium chromedriver.
Failure to use the undetected_chromedriver
will result in "Verification failed" when attempting to solve the captcha.
Playwright Client
Import the package, set up the PlaywrightSolver
class, and call it whenever you need.
This turns the entire captcha detection, solution, retry, and verification process into a single line of code.
It is the recommended method if you are using playwright.
from tiktok_captcha_solver import PlaywrightSolver
from playwright.sync_api import Page, sync_playwright
from playwright_stealth import stealth_sync, StealthConfig
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
with sync_playwright() as p:
browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
page = browser.new_page()
config = StealthConfig(navigator_languages=False, navigator_vendor=False, navigator_user_agent=False)
stealth_sync(page, config)
sadcaptcha = PlaywrightSolver(page, api_key)
sadcaptcha.solve_captcha_if_present()
It is crucial that users of the Playwright client also use playwright-stealth
with the configuration specified above.
Failure to use the playwright-stealth
plugin will result in "Verification failed" when attempting to solve the captcha.
Async Playwright Client
Import the package, set up the AsyncPlaywrightSolver
class, and call it whenever you need.
This turns the entire captcha detection, solution, retry, and verification process into a single line of code.
It is the recommended method if you are using async playwright.
import asyncio
from tiktok_captcha_solver import AsyncPlaywrightSolver
from playwright.async_api import Page, async_playwright
from playwright_stealth import stealth_async, StealthConfig
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
async def main()
async with async_playwright() as p:
browser = await p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
page = await browser.new_page()
config = StealthConfig(navigator_languages=False, navigator_vendor=False, navigator_user_agent=False)
await stealth_async(page, config)
sadcaptcha = AsyncPlaywrightSolver(page, api_key)
await sadcaptcha.solve_captcha_if_present()
asyncio.run(main())
It is crucial that users of the Playwright client also use playwright-stealth
with the stealth configuration specified above.
Failure to use the playwright-stealth
plugin will result in "Verification failed" when attempting to solve the captcha.
Mobile (Appium)
Currently there is no premade solver for Mobile/appium, but you can implement the API with relative ease.
The idea is that you take a screenshot using the mobile driver, crop the images, and then send the images to the API.
Once you've done that, you can consume the response.
Here is a working example for Puzzle and Rotate captcha.
keep in mind, you will need to adjust the captcha_box
and offset_x
varaibles according to your particular mobile device.
from PIL import Image
import base64
import requests
BASE_URL = 'https://www.sadcaptcha.com/api/v1'
LICENSE_KEY = ''
puzzle_url = f'{BASE_URL}/puzzle?licenseKey={LICENSE_KEY}'
def solve_puzzle():
driver.save_screenshot('puzzle.png')
full_image = Image.open('puzzle.png')
captcha_box1 = (165, 1175, 303, 1330)
captcha_image1 = full_image.crop(captcha_box1)
captcha_image1.save('puzzle_screenshot.png')
captcha_box2 = (300, 945, 1016, 1475)
captcha_image2 = full_image.crop(captcha_box2)
captcha_image2.save('puzzle_screenshot1.png')
with open('puzzle_screenshot.png', 'rb') as f:
puzzle = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
with open('puzzle_screenshot1.png', 'rb') as f:
piece = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
data = {
'puzzleImageB64': puzzle,
'pieceImageB64': piece
}
r = requests.post(puzzle_url, json=data)
slide_x_proportion = r.json().get('slideXProportion')
offset_x = 46 + (46 * float(slide_x_proportion))
driver.swipe(start_x=55, start_y=530, end_x=55 + int(offset_x), end_y=530, duration=1000)
time.sleep(3)
BASE_URL = 'https://www.sadcaptcha.com/api/v1'
LICENSE_KEY = ''
rotate_url = f'{BASE_URL}/rotate?licenseKey={LICENSE_KEY}'
def solve_rotate():
driver.save_screenshot('full_screenshot.png')
full_image = Image.open('full_screenshot.png')
captcha_box1 = (415, 1055, 755, 1395)
captcha_image1 = full_image.crop(captcha_box1)
mask = Image.new('L', captcha_image1.size, 0)
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(mask)
circle_bbox = (0, 0, captcha_image1.size[0], captcha_image1.size[1])
draw.ellipse(circle_bbox, fill=255)
captcha_image1.putalpha(mask)
captcha_image1.save('captcha_image_circular.png')
captcha_box2 = (318, 958, 852, 1492)
captcha_image2 = full_image.crop(captcha_box2)
mask2 = Image.new('L', captcha_image2.size, 0)
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(mask2)
draw.ellipse((captcha_box1[0] - captcha_box2[0], captcha_box1[1] - captcha_box2[1],
captcha_box1[2] - captcha_box2[0], captcha_box1[3] - captcha_box2[1]), fill=255)
captcha_image_with_hole = captcha_image2.copy()
captcha_image_with_hole.paste((0, 0, 0, 0), (0, 0), mask2)
captcha_image_with_hole.save('captcha_image_with_hole.png')
with open('captcha_image_with_hole.png', 'rb') as f:
outer = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode('utf-8')
with open('captcha_image_circular.png', 'rb') as f:
inner = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode('utf-8')
data = {
'outerImageB64': outer,
'innerImageB64': inner
}
r = requests.post(rotate_url, json=data)
r.raise_for_status()
response = r.json()
angle = response.get('angle', 0)
result = ((286 - 55) * angle) / 360
start_x = 55
start_y = 530
offset_x = result
driver.swipe(start_x, start_y, start_x + int(offset_x), start_y, duration=1000)
Using Proxies and Custom Headers
SadCaptcha supports using proxies and custom headers such as user agent.
This is useful to avoid detection.
To implement this feature, pass your proxy URL and headers dictionary as a keyword argument to the constructor of the solver.
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
proxy = "http://username:password@123.0.1.2:80"
headers = {"User-Agent": "Chrome"}
driver = uc.Chrome(headless=False)
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
sadcaptcha = SeleniumSolver(driver, api_key, proxy=proxy, headers=headers)
with sync_playwright() as p:
browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
page = browser.new_page()
stealth_sync(page)
sadcaptcha = PlaywrightSolver(page, api_key, proxy=proxy, headers=headers)
sadcaptcha.solve_captcha_if_present()
async def main()
async with async_playwright() as p:
browser = await p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
page = await browser.new_page()
await stealth_async(page)
sadcaptcha = AsyncPlaywrightSolver(page, api_key, headers=headers, proxy=proxy)
await sadcaptcha.solve_captcha_if_present()
API Client
If you are not using Selenium or Playwright, you can still import and use the API client to help you make calls to SadCaptcha
from tiktok_captcha_solver import ApiClient
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
client = ApiClient(api_key)
res = client.rotate("base64 encoded outer", "base64 encoded inner")
res = client.puzzle("base64 encoded puzzle", "base64 encoded piece")
res = client.shapes("base64 encoded shapes image")
res = client.icon("Which of these objects... ?", base64 encoded icon image")
Troubleshooting
Captcha solved but still says Verification failed?
This common problem is due to your browser settings.
If using Selenium, you must use undetected_chromedriver
with the default settings.
If you are using Playwright, you must use the playwright_stealth
package with the default settings.
Do not change the user agent, or modify any other browser characteristics as this is easily detected and flagged as suspicious behavior.
