This is the easiest way to quickly integrate 2Captcha into your code and automate solving of any type of captcha. Examples of API requests for different captcha types are available on the Ruby captcha solver page.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ruby-2captcha'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ruby-2captcha
To use the api2captcha gem, you'll need to import the module and create a Client instance. Here's an example:
require 'api_2captcha'
client = Api2Captcha.new("YOUR_API_KEY")
There are a few options that can be configured using the Client instance:
client.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
| Option | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| soft_id | 4584 | your software ID obtained after publishing in 2captcha sofware catalog |
| callback | - | URL of your web-sever that receives the captcha recognition result. The URl should be first registered in pingback settings of your account |
| default_timeout | 120 | Timeout in seconds for all captcha types except reCAPTCHA. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from res.php API endpoint |
| polling_interval | 10 | Interval in seconds between requests to res.php API endpoint, setting values less than 5 seconds is not recommended |
[!IMPORTANT] Once
callbackis defined forClientinstance, 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
When you submit any image-based captcha use can provide additional options to help 2captcha workers to solve it properly.
| Option | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| numeric | 0 | Defines if captcha contains numeric or other symbols see more info in the API docs |
| min_len | 0 | minimal answer lenght |
| max_len | 0 | maximum answer length |
| phrase | 0 | defines if the answer contains multiple words or not |
| case_sensitive | 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 |
| hint_image | - | an image with hint shown to workers with the captcha, translated into instructionsimg API parameter |
| hint_text | - | hint or task text shown to workers with the captcha |
Below you can find basic examples for every captcha type, check out the code below.

You can pass your proxy as an additional argument for methods: recaptcha, funcaptcha, geetest, geetest v4, keycaptcha, capy puzzle, lemin, turnstile, amazon waf, Cutcaptcha, Friendly captcha, MTCaptcha, DataDome, CyberSiARA and etc. 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 for avoid restrictions and blocks. Quick start.
Example solving reCAPTCHA V2 using proxy:
result = client.recaptcha_v2({
googlekey: '6Le-wvkSVVABCPBMRTvw0Q4Muexq1bi0DJwx_mJ-',
pageurl: 'https://mysite.com/page/with/recaptcha_v2',
invisible: 1,
proxytype: "https",
proxy: "proxyuser:strongPassword@123.123.123.123:3128"
})
In case of an error, the captcha solver throws an exception. It's important to properly handle these cases. We recommend using begin rescue to handle exceptions.
begin
result = client.text('If tomorrow is Saturday, what day is today?')
rescue Api2Captcha::ValidationException => e
# invalid parameters passed
puts(e)
rescue Api2Captcha::NetworkException => e
# network error occurred
puts(e)
rescue Api2Captcha::ApiException => e
# api respond with error
puts(e)
rescue Api2Captcha::TimeoutException => e
# captcha is not solved so far
puts(e)
end
Examples of solving all supported captcha types are located in the examples directory.
