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 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	-	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
defaultTimeout	120	Polling timeout in seconds for all captcha types except ReCaptcha. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from res.php API endpoint
recaptchaTimeout	600	Polling timeout for ReCaptcha in seconds. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from res.php API endpoint
pollingInterval	10	Interval in seconds between requests to res.php API endpoint, setting values less than 5 seconds is not recommended

IMPORTANT: once callback is defined for 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 getResult method

Solve captcha

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

Captcha options

Option	Default Value	Description
numeric	0	Defines if captcha contains numeric or other symbols see more info in the API docs
minLength	0	minimal answer lenght
maxLength	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 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 to find more examples with all available options.

                        challenge='12345678abc90123d45678ef90123a456b',
                        url='https://www.site.com/page/',
                        param1=..., ...)

hCaptcha

Use this method to solve hCaptcha challenge. Returns a token to bypass captcha.

                            url='https://www.site.com/page/', 
                            param1=..., ...)

KeyCaptcha

                     api_server='https://jp.api.capy.me/',
                     param1=..., ...)

Grid

result = solver.grid('path/to/captcha.jpg', param1=..., ...)

Canvas

Canvas method can be used when you need to draw a line around an object on image. Returns a set of points' coordinates to draw a polygon.

result = solver.canvas('path/to/captcha.jpg', param1=..., ...)

ClickCaptcha

ClickCaptcha method returns coordinates of points on captcha image. Can be used if you need to click on particular points on the image.

result = solver.coordinates('path/to/captcha.jpg', param1=..., ...)

Rotate

This method can be used to solve a captcha that asks to rotate an object. Mostly used to bypass FunCaptcha. Returns the rotation angle.

result = solver.rotate('path/to/captcha.jpg', param1=..., ...)

Other methods

send / getResult

These methods can be used for manual captcha submission and answer polling.

import time
. . . . . 


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

code = solver.get_result(id)

balance

Use this method to get your account's balance

balance = solver.balance()

report

Use this method to report good or bad captcha answer.

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

Error handling

If case of an error captcha solver throws an exception. It's important to properly handle these cases. We recommend to use try except to handle exceptions.

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 argumen for methods: recaptcha, funcaptcha and geetest. The proxy will be forwarded to the API to solve the captcha.

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

captcha_result = await captchaSolver(image)

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