captcha9kw is a smallish Python package for making use of the 9kw.eu services, including solving of interactive captchas like Google’s reCaptcha or image-based captchas used by a lot of different services out there.

Important: This package is under construction and functionality may change.

Installation

You can install captcha9kw from PyPI using pip:

$ pip install captcha9kw

Getting started

Solving a simple image-based captcha is pretty easy:

docs/source/_static/captcha.gif

The captcha used here.

image-captcha

from captcha9kw import api9kw

conn = api9kw()
conn.api_key = "myapikeyhere"
print(f"Current account balance: {conn.balance} credits.")
captcha_id = conn.submit_image_captcha("mycaptcha.gif")
answer = conn.get_answer(captcha_id, wait=1)
if(answer == "spring water"):
    conn.captcha_feedback_correct(captcha_id)
else:
    conn.captcha_feedback_incorrect(captcha_id)

Similarly, for e.g. a reCaptcha:

interactive captcha

from captcha9kw import api9kw

conn = api9kw()
conn.api_key = "myapikeyhere"
print(f"Current account balance: {conn.balance} credits.")
website_url = "https://www.some.web.site"
website_key = obtain_site_key() # Supply your own code here
captcha_id = conn.submit_interactive_captcha(website_key, website_url)
answer = conn.get_answer(captcha_id, wait=1)
if(test_answer_on_site(answer)):
    conn.captcha_feedback_correct(captcha_id)
else:
    conn.captcha_feedback_incorrect(captcha_id)

For more information, check the API Reference.

9kw.eu

9kw.eu is a German captcha-solving service, providing a quick and easy API over HTTP GET/POST. Users can buy credits that will be deducted from based on the type of captcha in question and related settings. As a nice bonus, users can also earn credits for themselves by solving other people’s captchas, either through the website directly or through their custom client.

You can sign up for their service at: https://www.9kw.eu/register.html

Or, if you really wish to grant me a couple of free credits, sign up using my referral link: https://www.9kw.eu/register.html?r=210326

Note: Do not feel any pressure to use the referral link! I know a lot of

people feel iffy about such and I do not feel offended, if you prefer to not add me as your referrer.

Also, maybe take a look at their API.
