Playwright Captcha

Python 3.8+ PyPI version

A Python library that makes captcha solving simple and automated with Playwright and Playwright-based frameworks. Just a few lines of code, and you're ready to go!

(Need some help with Automation? You can hire me for custom development or consulting!)

✨ What it does

This framework helps you solve captchas in Playwright or Playwright-based frameworks (like Camoufox or Patchright) automatically. It will:

  1. Detect the captcha on your page
  2. Solve it using your preferred method
  3. Apply the solution automatically
  4. Submit the form (when needed & possible)

🚀 Supported Captcha Types

Click Solver

Uses the browser's stealthiness to automatically click and solve captchas (works good only with playwright's stealthy patches e.g. camoufox/patchright):

  • ✅ Cloudflare Interstitial
  • ✅ Cloudflare Turnstile

API Solver

TwoCaptcha - https://2captcha.com

Uses the 2Captcha.com API for solving:

  • ✅ Cloudflare Interstitial

  • ✅ Cloudflare Turnstile

  • ✅ reCAPTCHA v2

  • ✅ reCAPTCHA v3

TenCaptcha - https://10captcha.com

Uses the 10Captcha.com API for solving:

  • ✅ reCAPTCHA v2

  • ✅ reCAPTCHA v3

CaptchaAI - https://captchaai.com

Uses the captchaai.com API for solving:

  • ✅ reCAPTCHA v2

  • ✅ reCAPTCHA v3

More captcha types and solvers coming soon! Contributions welcome.

📦 Installation

pip install playwright-captcha

🔧 Quick Start

Check out the examples directory for detailed usage examples:

Each example includes configurations for Playwright, Patchright, and Camoufox.

Click Solver Example

import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
from playwright_captcha import CaptchaType, ClickSolver, FrameworkType

async def solve_captcha():
    async with async_playwright() as playwright:
        browser = await playwright.chromium.launch(headless=True)
        page = await browser.new_page()
        
        framework = FrameworkType.PLAYWRIGHT
        
        # Create solver before navigating to the page
        async with ClickSolver(framework=framework, page=page) as solver:
            # Navigate to your target page
            await page.goto('https://example.com/with-captcha')
            
            # Solve the captcha
            await solver.solve_captcha(
                captcha_container=page,
                captcha_type=CaptchaType.CLOUDFLARE_TURNSTILE
            )
        
        # Continue with your automation...

asyncio.run(solve_captcha())

API Solver Example (TwoCaptcha)

import asyncio
import os
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
from twocaptcha import AsyncTwoCaptcha
from playwright_captcha import CaptchaType, TwoCaptchaSolver, FrameworkType

async def solve_with_2captcha():
    # Initialize 2Captcha client
    captcha_client = AsyncTwoCaptcha(os.getenv('TWO_CAPTCHA_API_KEY'))
    
    async with async_playwright() as playwright:
        browser = await playwright.chromium.launch(headless=False)
        page = await browser.new_page()
                
        framework = FrameworkType.PLAYWRIGHT
        
        # Create solver before navigating to the page
        # Available API Solvers:
        # TwoCaptchaSolver
        # TenCaptchaSolver
        # CaptchaAISolver
        
        async with TwoCaptchaSolver(framework=framework, 
                                    page=page, 
                                    async_two_captcha_client=captcha_client) as solver:
            # Navigate to your target page
            await page.goto('https://example.com/with-recaptcha')
        
            # Solve reCAPTCHA v2
            await solver.solve_captcha(
                captcha_container=page,
                captcha_type=CaptchaType.RECAPTCHA_V2
            )
        
        # Continue with your automation...

asyncio.run(solve_with_2captcha())

🎯 How It Works

Click Solver Process:

  1. Find the captcha element on the page
  2. Click on it using browser automation
  3. Wait for successful completion

External Solver Process (e.g., TwoCaptcha, TenCaptcha, CaptchaAI):

  1. Find the captcha element
  2. Extract required data (site key, URL, etc.)
  3. Send to external solving service
  4. Apply the returned solution
  5. Submit the form (when applicable)

🌐 Browser Compatibility

Standard Playwright

Works with all standard Playwright browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

Stealth Browsers

For better success rates, especially with click-based solving:

Patchright

from patchright.async_api import async_playwright
from playwright_captcha import FrameworkType

async with async_playwright() as playwright:
    browser = await playwright.chromium.launch(channel="chrome", headless=False)
    
    framework = FrameworkType.PATCHRIGHT
    
    # ... rest of your code

Camoufox

from camoufox import AsyncCamoufox
from playwright_captcha.utils.camoufox_add_init_script.add_init_script import get_addon_path
from playwright_captcha import FrameworkType
import os

ADDON_PATH = get_addon_path()

async with AsyncCamoufox(
    headless=False,
    geoip=True,
    humanize=True,
    main_world_eval=True, # add this
    addons=[os.path.abspath(ADDON_PATH)] # add this
) as browser:
    context = await browser.new_context()
    page = await context.new_page()
    
    framework = FrameworkType.CAMOUFOX
    
    # ... rest of your code

Note: Camoufox currently has an issue with the add_init_script method. I've included a temporary workaround that's automatically used in the package. See the examples folder for details.

    page=page,
    async_two_captcha_client=captcha_client,
    max_attempts=3,
    attempt_delay=10,
    
    # also you can specify the captcha data like sitekey manually if it fails to detect automatically
    sitekey='sitekey'
    # ...
