The easiest way to quickly integrate the 2Captcha captcha-solving service into your code and automate the solving of any type of captcha. Examples of API requests for different captcha types are available on the Python captcha solver page.
- Python Module for 2Captcha API (captcha solver)
This package can be installed with Pip:
pip3 install 2captcha-pythonTwoCaptcha 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,
'extendedResponse': False
}
solver = TwoCaptcha(**config)| 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 |
| extendedResponse | None | Set to True to get the response with additional fields or in more practical format (enables JSON response from res.php API endpoint). Suitable for ClickCaptcha, Canvas |
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
When you submit any image-based CAPTCHA, you can provide additional options to help 2captcha workers solve it properly.
| 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.

'uri': 'login:password@IP_address:PORT'
},
param1=..., ...)Use this method to solve CyberSiARA. Returns a token.

param1=..., ...)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='recaptcha' for solving reCaptcha.
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)Use this method to get your account's balance
balance = solver.balance()Use this method to report good or bad captcha answers.
solver.report(id, True) # captcha solved correctly
solver.report(id, False) # captcha solved incorrectlyIn 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)You can pass your proxy as an additional argument for the following methods: recaptcha, funcaptcha, geetest, geetest v4, 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'
}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 of solving all supported captcha types are located in the examples directory.
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, Cloudflare, Coordinates, MTCaptcha, normal captcha (image captcha) and text captcha using Selenium.
