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

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

Below you can find basic examples for every captcha type. Check out examples directory to find more examples with all available options.

Normal Captcha

To bypass a normal captcha (distorted text on image) use the following method. This method also can be used to recognize any text on the image.

                     param1=..., ...)

Grid

Grid method is originally called Old ReCaptcha V2 method. The method can be used to bypass any type of captcha where you can apply a grid on image and need to click specific grid boxes. Returns numbers of boxes.

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.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

In case of an error, the captcha solver throws an exception. It's important to properly handle these cases. We recommend using 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 argument 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
