auto-captcha 0.1.3

Universal captcha solver for Playwright automation — hCaptcha + reCAPTCHA v2 via NopeCHA API

auto-captcha

Universal captcha solver for Playwright browser automation. Detects hCaptcha and reCAPTCHA v2, solves them via the NopeCHA API, and injects tokens — so your scripts never get stuck.

Your script → page loads → captcha detected → NopeCHA API → token injected → continue

Install

pip install auto-captcha
python -m playwright install chromium

Quick Start

from auto_captcha import smart_page

with smart_page(api_key="your-key") as page:
    page.goto("https://protected-site.com")
    page.fill("#email", "[e-mail]")
    page.click("#submit")   # captcha auto-solved

Three Ways to Use

1. smart_page() — Context Manager (easiest)

from auto_captcha import smart_page

with smart_page(api_key="your-key") as page:
    page.goto("https://example.com")
    page.fill("#email", "[e-mail]")
    page.click("#submit")
    print(page.captcha_log)  # [{'type': 'hcaptcha', 'status': 'solved'}]

2. SmartPage — Wrap Existing Browser

from auto_captcha import SmartPage
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

pw = sync_playwright().start()
browser = pw.chromium.launch(headless=True)
page = SmartPage(browser.new_page(), api_key="your-key")

page.goto("https://example.com")
page.fill("#input", "value")

3. CaptchaSolver — Full Control

from auto_captcha import CaptchaSolver

solver = CaptchaSolver(api_key="your-key")

captchas = solver.detect(page)       # [{'type': 'hcaptcha', 'sitekey': '...'}]
result = solver.solve("hcaptcha", sitekey, url)   # CaptchaResult(success=True, token='...')
solver.inject(page, "hcaptcha", result.token)
results = solver.auto_solve(page)    # detect + solve + inject

CLI

auto-captcha credits --key YOUR_KEY           # Check NopeCHA balance
auto-captcha detect --url https://example.com # Detect captchas
auto-captcha solve --url https://example.com  # Solve captchas

Hermes Skill

Copy the hermes-skill/ directory to ~/.hermes/skills/auto-captcha/ and set NOPECHA_API_KEY in your .env.

Supported Captcha Types

Type	Detection	Speed	Reliability
hCaptcha (checkbox)	iframe + DOM	10-40s	High
hCaptcha (enterprise)	iframe + DOM	10-40s	High
reCAPTCHA v2	iframe + DOM	60-120s+	Medium (queue)

Coming soon: reCAPTCHA v3, Cloudflare Turnstile, FunCAPTCHA — track progress

Pitfalls

• reCAPTCHA queues are slow — can take 60-120+ seconds during peak
• Each solve costs 1 credit — check with solver.get_credits()
• Headless detection — some sites block headless; use headless=False
• Lazy-loaded captchas — add time.sleep() after actions that might trigger them
