CAPTCHA Solver for Web Scraping
Keep crawlers moving through reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile and image challenges with a local solver that charges one flat price, however many pages you scrape.
- Unlimited solving
- Unlimited threads
- 90-100% accuracy
- Runs locally
CAPTCHAs are the most common reason a scraper stalls. A crawler runs cleanly for hours, then hits a reCAPTCHA interstitial or a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge and every response after it comes back empty. CapSkip is a CAPTCHA solver for web scraping that runs locally on your own Windows machine or VPS and hands tokens back to your scraper in seconds, so the crawl keeps moving instead of queueing behind a challenge.
Scraping is where per-solve pricing hurts most. 2Captcha, Anti-Captcha, CapSolver and similar services bill per 1,000 solves, so the cost of a crawl scales with its size and a big job can spend more on CAPTCHAs than on proxies. CapSkip is flat-rate: one subscription from $10/month, plus a $99 one-time lifetime license, covers unlimited solves and unlimited threads. You can widen concurrency without widening the bill, and a retry storm costs nothing extra.
It fits whatever stack you already scrape with. Call the Python, Node.js, PHP or .NET SDK from Scrapy, requests, Selenium, Playwright or Puppeteer, load the browser extension for headful runs, or point existing 2Captcha and Anti-Captcha client code at CapSkip's local API emulation and keep the code you have. Because recognition is local, your target URLs, site keys and page images are never handed to a third-party farm, which matters when the crawl targets are the business.
No coding required. Run the CapSkip app and the browser extension connects automatically, then solves CAPTCHAs right in the page. Already using another service? Migrating is easy: CapSkip is a drop-in captcha solver that emulates 2Captcha, RuCaptcha, Anti-Captcha, CapMonster Cloud, CapSolver, DeathByCaptcha, SolveCaptcha and Captchas.io. Add your service to the hosts file in the CapSkip app and your existing code is routed to CapSkip and solved locally, with no changes.

Three ways to solve CAPTCHAs in a scraper
# pip install capskip
from capskip import CapSkip
import requests
solver = CapSkip(host="127.0.0.1", port=8080)
session = requests.Session()
# The search results are behind a reCAPTCHA, so solve it first.
token = solver.recaptcha(
sitekey="YOUR_SITEKEY",
url="https://example.com/search",
)["code"]
page = session.post(
"https://example.com/search",
data={"q": "widgets", "g-recaptcha-response": token},
)
print(page.status_code, len(page.text))Solve the challenge, submit the token, carry on scraping. Unlimited solves, unlimited threads, flat price.
No-code browser extension
Install the CapSkip extension and it detects the widget on any page and solves it for you, with nothing to script.
Official SDKs
Automate solving from your own code with the Python, Node.js, PHP and C# clients. A few lines returns a valid token.
Local HTTP API
Prefer raw HTTP? CapSkip exposes a local endpoint with 2Captcha and Anti-Captcha API emulation, so any HTTP client works.

We host live, interactive demo pages for every CAPTCHA type. Load the real widget, run CapSkip, and watch the token come back.

Solve automatically
Use the browser extension for no-code solving, or call the SDK / HTTP API from your automation.
CapSkip vs per-solve solving APIs
| Feature | CapSkip | Per-solve APIs |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of a large crawl | Fixed monthly price, unlimited solves | Rises with every page that shows a challenge |
| Concurrency | Unlimited threads, so you can scale workers freely | More parallel workers burn the balance faster |
| Where solving runs | On your own scraping box or VPS | Remote servers, an extra hop for every challenge |
| Latency per challenge | ~0.1s for image CAPTCHAs, a few seconds for token types | Network round-trip plus time in a shared queue |
| What the vendor sees | Nothing: target URLs and page data stay on your machine | Target URLs, site keys and images sent off-box |
| Scraper integration | Python, Node.js, PHP and .NET SDKs, plus drop-in API emulation | A vendor-specific client per service |
| Retries and failures | Retry as often as you like at no extra cost | Every retry is another billable solve |

How to handle CAPTCHAs in web scraping
A scraper meets two kinds of CAPTCHA: token challenges like reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile, where you need a valid response token to submit with the request, and image challenges, where you need the characters read back. CapSkip covers both. For token types, pass the page URL and the site key to the SDK and inject the token it returns into your form post or into the browser page your automation controls. For image types, pass the image and get the text. Run CapSkip on the same machine as the crawler (or on the VPS the crawler runs on) so solving adds no network hop, and use unlimited threads to solve for many workers at once. If your pipeline already calls 2Captcha or Anti-Captcha, keep that code and point it at CapSkip's local API emulation instead. A CAPTCHA solver is not a substitute for good scraping hygiene, though: sensible rate limits, real headers and quality proxies still decide how often a challenge appears in the first place.
Frequently asked questions
How do I handle CAPTCHAs when web scraping?
Detect the challenge, solve it, then continue the request with the result. With CapSkip you pass the page URL and site key for reCAPTCHA or Turnstile and submit the returned token with your form data, or pass the image for an image CAPTCHA and get the text back. Solving runs locally, so it adds no network round-trip to the crawl.
What is the best CAPTCHA solver for web scraping?
For scraping specifically, the deciding factor is usually cost at volume and concurrency. CapSkip is flat-rate with unlimited solves and unlimited threads, so a crawl that hits ten thousand challenges costs the same as one that hits ten, and you can scale workers without scaling the bill.
Does CapSkip work with Scrapy, Selenium and Playwright?
Yes. The SDKs are plain clients, so you can call them from a Scrapy middleware, a requests session, or a Selenium, Playwright or Puppeteer script. For headful browser runs you can also load the CapSkip extension and let it solve widgets in the page automatically.
How much does CAPTCHA solving cost for a large scrape?
With CapSkip it is fixed: $10/month on Bronze, $15 Silver, $20 Gold, plus a $99 one-time lifetime license, all unlimited. Per-solve services charge per 1,000 challenges, so the same crawl gets more expensive the bigger it gets.
Can CapSkip get my crawler past Cloudflare Turnstile?
Yes. CapSkip solves both the Turnstile widget and the full Turnstile challenge page, along with reCAPTCHA v2, v3 and Enterprise, GeeTest v3 and thousands of image CAPTCHA types.
Will solving CAPTCHAs slow my crawler down?
Much less than a remote service would. Image CAPTCHAs come back in roughly 0.1 seconds and token types in a few seconds, and because CapSkip runs on the same machine there is no API round-trip or shared queue in the path.
Do I still need proxies if I use a CAPTCHA solver?
Usually yes, since they solve different problems. Proxies and sensible request pacing reduce how often you are challenged; CapSkip handles the challenges that still appear. The two work well together, and because CapSkip is unlimited it does not penalise you when a proxy pool triggers more challenges than expected.
Is it legal to use a CAPTCHA solver for scraping?
CapSkip is a tool for automating your own workflows, testing and data collection; you are responsible for complying with the terms of the sites you interact with and with applicable law. CapSkip does not make that determination for you.
