tigercaptcha 1.0.0

TigerCaptcha API client for Python

tigercaptcha-python

Python client for the TigerCaptcha solving API.

Full API reference: https://docs.tigercaptcha.com

Installation

pip install tigercaptcha

Or from source:

pip install .

Quick start

from tigercaptcha import TigerCaptcha

solver = TigerCaptcha("tc_live_your_api_key")

result = solver.facebook_image("captcha.jpg")
print(result["code"])      # -> "AB12CD"
print(result["taskId"])

Solving

By image

Pass a file path, a base64 string, or raw bytes:

result = solver.facebook_image("captcha.jpg")
result = solver.facebook_image(open("captcha.jpg", "rb").read())
result = solver.facebook_image("iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUg...")

By URL

The worker fetches a public image URL directly:

result = solver.facebook_url("https://www.facebook.com/captcha/tfbimage/?bd=...")

Balance

solver.balance()      # -> 12.35
solver.account()      # full account details (plan, limits, subscription)

Webhooks

Provide a callback_url and the result is POSTed to it when solved. In this mode the call returns immediately with the taskId instead of polling.

result = solver.facebook_image("captcha.jpg", callback_url="https://your-app.com/tiger-callback")
print(result["taskId"])

Configuration

solver = TigerCaptcha(
    "tc_live_your_api_key",
    server="https://api.tigercaptcha.com",
    polling_interval=2,
    default_timeout=120,
)

Per call:

result = solver.facebook_image("captcha.jpg", timeout=60, polling_interval=1)

Low-level methods

task_id = solver.create_task(type="FacebookCaptchaImage", body="<base64>")
result = solver.get_result(task_id)      # None while processing, dict when ready
result = solver.wait_result(task_id, timeout=120, polling_interval=2)

Errors

from tigercaptcha import TigerCaptcha, SolverException, ValidationException, TimeoutException, ApiException, NetworkException

try:
    result = solver.facebook_image("captcha.jpg")
except TimeoutException:
    pass
except ApiException as error:
    print(error)
except SolverException as error:
    print(error)
