Every PHP CAPTCHA solver exists for one awkward moment: your cURL handle or Guzzle client asks for a page and gets a challenge back instead of the markup it was built to parse. Install capskip/capskip with Composer and that challenge goes to the CapSkip desktop app, running on Windows hardware you own or rent, which sends back a reCAPTCHA or Turnstile token, a GeeTest v3 answer, or the text of an image, ready for your next POST.
The client keeps your vendor folder lean: it asks for PHP 8.0 or newer with the curl and json extensions and installs nothing else. Each challenge family gets its own method, so recaptcha() handles v2, v3 and Enterprise, turnstile() covers both the embedded widget and Cloudflare's full-page check, geetest() takes the v3 slider, normal() reads distorted text in about 0.1 seconds, and altcha(), capy(), captchafox(), friendlyCaptcha() and amazonWaf() round out the list.
Your PHP can keep running wherever it runs today. Set the client's host option to the machine with CapSkip, and every server, container or cron box that can reach it solves through one flat license from $35 a month. Nothing on the invoice depends on how many forms you submit.
Keep CAPTCHA work out of the request cycle. Each solve holds its PHP process until the answer arrives, so dispatch it to a queue job or a cron script and let your pages respond at normal speed. Start as many workers as the solver machine can feed: the plan is flat, so extra processes add nothing to the bill. Read the Laravel queue guide
Built for Composer projects and PHP workers
Two PHP extensions, nothing else
The package needs PHP 8.0 or newer with curl and json enabled. It adds no other runtime dependency, so it never fights the versions your framework already locks in composer.lock.
Every queue worker on one license
Artisan commands, cron runs and long-lived workers all draw from the same unmetered plan. More processes raise throughput up to what the machine can handle, while the monthly price stays put.
At home in Laravel and Symfony
Register a single CapSkip instance as a singleton in a Laravel service provider or as a Symfony service. With no framework ties, a bare PHP script uses it just as easily.
Answers shaped for Guzzle and cURL
Take $result['code'] and drop it into Guzzle form_params or your CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS array, keyed by whatever field name the target form submits, g-recaptcha-response being the usual one.
Pairs with Panther and php-webdriver
When a site expects a real browser, drive it with Symfony Panther or php-webdriver, let CapSkip solve the challenge, then inject the returned token into the form before you click submit.
Blocking calls with a 300-second ceiling
Every call is synchronous, and a reCAPTCHA solve may keep polling for up to 300 seconds by default. That suits CLI processes and queue jobs far better than a web request with a short time limit.
Three routes from a PHP project to CapSkip
<?php
// composer require capskip/capskip
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use CapSkip\CapSkip;
$solver = new CapSkip(['host' => '127.0.0.1', 'port' => 8080]);
$result = $solver->recaptcha(
'YOUR_SITEKEY',
'https://example.com/page-with-recaptcha'
);
echo $result['code']; // g-recaptcha-response tokenReplace YOUR_SITEKEY and the example URL with your target, run the file from the command line, and it prints a reCAPTCHA token for your form post.
Browser extension for manual sessions
When you are the one clicking through a site, say while testing your own signup form, the Chrome or Firefox add-on lets the running CapSkip app clear each challenge, no PHP needed.
The Composer SDK for your code
Require capskip/capskip, then pick the method that matches each challenge from scripts, commands and workers. Sibling clients exist for Python, Node.js and .NET when other services need one.
Local API for inherited 2Captcha code
A PHP class built around the 2Captcha or Anti-Captcha API keeps sending its requests unchanged: the CapSkip app speaks those formats and answers from your own machine.

How the CapSkip Composer client measures up against the per-solve services many PHP projects begin with.
| Feature | CapSkip | 2Captcha / CapSolver |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | One monthly fee from $35, solves never counted | Each solve, priced per 1,000 |
| Where challenges get solved | Inside the CapSkip app, on hardware you run | Remote API servers or a human solving farm |
| Bill as your queue grows | Unchanged, whatever the job count | Climbs with every job that meets a CAPTCHA |
| Who sees the challenge | Only your own machines | A third-party service receives it |
| Parallel PHP workers | No thread cap; your server sets the pace | More throughput means paying for more solves |
| Getting it into PHP | composer require capskip/capskip, or keep a 2Captcha client | The vendor's own client library |
| Image CAPTCHA turnaround | Roughly 0.1 seconds, solved on the spot | A network round trip plus queue time |

Solve CAPTCHA in PHP: the cURL and Guzzle workflow
Most PHP code meets a CAPTCHA halfway through a scripted form post: a cURL handle or a Guzzle client fetches the page, spots a challenge, and needs a valid answer before the POST can leave. The routine below keeps that session intact from fetch to submit.
First, gather the inputs from the HTML you already downloaded. reCAPTCHA and Turnstile need the data-sitekey value and the page URL. GeeTest v3 needs a freshly issued gt and challenge pair, because each challenge works once and goes stale in about a minute. An image CAPTCHA needs the picture itself, fetched with the same cookie jar as the form so it belongs to your session. hCaptcha needs the same pair as reCAPTCHA, the data-sitekey and the page URL, sent with method=hcaptcha.
Next, call the matching method on your client. For invisible reCAPTCHA, give recaptcha() its invisible option; for v3, set version to v3 and supply the page's own action label. The turnstile() method also accepts the data and pagedata values when you face a full Cloudflare challenge page. The call blocks until the answer arrives, so run it from a CLI process or a queue job.
Finally, put the answer where the site looks for it. Add $result['code'] to your POST fields under the response field name the form uses; for GeeTest, return the challenge, validate and seccode values the way the site's own front end would; after a Cloudflare challenge page, repeat the request with the userAgent CapSkip handed back. Submit promptly, since tokens expire within minutes, and if you solved through a proxy, send the POST through that same proxy.

Which Composer package do I install for CAPTCHA solving?
Run composer require capskip/capskip. The package is MIT licensed and free, needs PHP 8.0 or newer with the curl and json extensions, and brings no other runtime dependencies. It is only the messenger between your code and the CapSkip app, so solving itself needs a CapSkip license, starting with the free 3-day trial.
What does a reCAPTCHA call look like from PHP code?
Read data-sitekey from the fetched page, call recaptcha() with that key and the page URL, and post $result['code'] as g-recaptcha-response. The same method covers invisible reCAPTCHA through its invisible option, v3 once you set the version option to v3 and add the page's action name, and Enterprise sites as well.
Does the Turnstile method handle the full-page Cloudflare check too?
Yes. The turnstile() method solves the embedded widget, and its token goes into the Turnstile response field of the form. On the interstitial page Cloudflare shows before a site loads, also collect its data and pagedata values, then resend with the userAgent value from the result, through the proxy you solved with.
Why does my web request time out while CapSkip is solving?
Because the call blocks the whole PHP process, and browser-based solves such as reCAPTCHA may poll for up to 300 seconds by default, far past a typical max_execution_time. Move solving into an artisan command, a cron script or a queue worker, where the process is allowed to wait for the answer.
How do I run many solves at the same time from PHP?
Use more processes. One PHP process handles one solve at a time, so start several queue workers or CLI scripts and point them all at the same CapSkip app. Threads are unlimited on every plan; the limit is whatever the solver machine's processor and RAM can sustain, and the price does not move.
What does the GeeTest v3 call give back to PHP?
Fetch a new gt value and challenge from the site just before solving, since each one is single-use. The geetest() method usually needs 7 to 12 seconds and returns $result['challenge'], $result['validate'] and $result['seccode'], which you post back in the format the site's own front end uses.
Can I keep a PHP class written for the 2Captcha API?
Yes. On the Windows machine running CapSkip, switch on 2Captcha emulation and press the Add to hosts file button; your existing class then gets its answers locally. When that PHP code lives on another server, you can usually point the class at the CapSkip machine on port 8080 instead.
Will CapSkip read an image CAPTCHA that cURL downloaded?
Yes. The normal() method accepts a saved file, a remote image link or base64 data, and the characters come back in $result['code'], typically in about 0.1 seconds. Fetch the picture inside the same cURL session as the form, cookies included, so the answer matches your session. Image solves need no proxy.
