AntiCaptcha

AntiCaptcha is a Ruby API for Anti-Captcha - Anti-Captcha.com.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'anti_captcha'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install anti_captcha

Usage

  1. Create a client
  # Create a client
  client = AntiCaptcha.new('my_key')
  1. Solve Image CAPTCHA

There are two methods available:

  • decode_image: solves image CAPTCHAs. It doesn't raise exceptions.
  • decode_image!: solves image CAPTCHAs. It may raise an AntiCaptcha::Error if something goes wrong.

If the solution is not available, an empty solution object will be returned.

  solution = client.decode_image!(path: 'path/to/my/captcha/file')
  solution.text                # CAPTCHA solution.
  solution.url                 # Image URL.
  solution.task_result.task_id # The ID of the task.

You can also specify file, body and body64 when decoding an image.

  client.decode_image!(file: File.open('path/to/my/captcha/file', 'rb'))

  client.decode_image!(body: File.open('path/to/my/captcha/file', 'rb').read)

  client.decode_image!(body64: Base64.encode64(File.open('path/to/my/captcha/file', 'rb').read))

Internally, the gem will always convert the image to body64 (binary base64 encoded).

  1. Report incorrectly solved image CAPTCHA for refund

It is only possible to report incorrectly solved image CAPTCHAs.

  client.report_incorrect_image_catpcha!(task_id)
  1. Get your account balance
  client.get_balance!
  1. Get current stats of a queue.

Queue IDs:

  • 1 Standart ImageToText, English language.
  • 2 Standart ImageToText, Russian language.
  • 5 Recaptcha NoCaptcha tasks.
  • 6 Recaptcha Proxyless task.
  client.get_queue_stats!(queue_id)
  1. Clickable CAPTCHAs (e.g. "No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA")

This method allows you to solve CAPTCHAs similar to reCAPTCHA v2.

There are two methods available:

  • decode_nocaptcha: solves NoCaptcha CAPTCHAs. It doesn't raise exceptions.
  • decode_nocaptcha!: solves NoCaptcha CAPTCHAs. It may raise an AntiCaptcha::Error if something goes wrong.

Send the website_key and website_url parameters

This method requires no browser emulation. You can send two parameters that identify the website in which the CAPTCHA is found.

  options = {
    website_key: 'xyz',
    website_url: 'http://example.com/example=1'
  }

  solution = client.decode_nocaptcha!(options)
  solution.g_recaptcha_response # Solution of the captcha

The solution (solution.g_recaptcha_response) will be a code that validates the form, like the following:

  "1JJHJ_VuuHAqJKxcaasbTsqw-L1Sm4gD57PTeaEr9-MaETG1vfu2H5zlcwkjsRoZoHxx6V9yUDw8Ig-hYD8kakmSnnjNQd50w_Y_tI3aDLp-s_7ZmhH6pcaoWWsid5hdtMXyvrP9DscDuCLBf7etLle8caPWSaYCpAq9DOTtj5NpSg6-OeCJdGdkjsakFUMeGeqmje87wSajcjmdjl_w4XZBY2zy8fUH6XoAGZ6AeCTulIljBQDObQynKDd-rutPvKNxZasDk-LbhTfw508g1lu9io6jnvm3kbAdnkfZ0x0PkGiUMHU7hnuoW6bXo2Yn_Zt5tDWL7N7wFtY6B0k7cTy73f8er508zReOuoyz2NqL8smDCmcJu05ajkPGt20qzpURMwHaw"
  1. FunCaptcha

This method allows you to solve FunCaptcha.

Send the website_public_key and website_url parameters

This method requires no browser emulation. You can send two parameters that identify the website in which the CAPTCHA is found.

  options = {
    website_public_key: 'xyz',
    website_url: 'http://example.com/example=1',
    language_pool: '...'
  }

  solution = client.decode_fun_captcha(options)
  solution.token # Solution of the captcha
  1. reCAPTCHA V3

This method allows you to solve reCAPTCHA v3.

There are two methods available:

  • decode_recaptcha_v3: solves reCAPTCHA v3. It doesn't raise exceptions.
  • decode_recaptcha_v3!: solves reCAPTCHA v3. It may raise an AntiCaptcha::Error if something goes wrong.

Send the website_key, website_url, min_score and page_action parameters

This method requires no browser emulation. You can send four parameters that identify the website in which the CAPTCHA is found and the minimum score (0.3, 0.5 or 0.7) you desire.

  options = {
    website_key: 'xyz',
    website_url: 'http://example.com/example=1',
    min_score:   0.3,
    page_action: 'myverify'
  }

  solution = client.decode_recaptcha_v3!(options)
  solution.g_recaptcha_response # Solution of the captcha

The solution (solution.g_recaptcha_response) will be a code that validates the form, like the following:

  "1JJHJ_VuuHAqJKxcaasbTsqw-L1Sm4gD57PTeaEr9-MaETG1vfu2H5zlcwkjsRoZoHxx6V9yUDw8Ig-hYD8kakmSnnjNQd50w_Y_tI3aDLp-s_7ZmhH6pcaoWWsid5hdtMXyvrP9DscDuCLBf7etLle8caPWSaYCpAq9DOTtj5NpSg6-OeCJdGdkjsakFUMeGeqmje87wSajcjmdjl_w4XZBY2zy8fUH6XoAGZ6AeCTulIljBQDObQynKDd-rutPvKNxZasDk-LbhTfw508g1lu9io6jnvm3kbAdnkfZ0x0PkGiUMHU7hnuoW6bXo2Yn_Zt5tDWL7N7wFtY6B0k7cTy73f8er508zReOuoyz2NqL8smDCmcJu05ajkPGt20qzpURMwHaw"

Notes

Ruby dependencies

AntiCaptcha doesn't require specific dependencies. That saves you memory and avoid conflicts with other gems.

Input image format

Any format you use in the decode method (file, path, body, body64) will always be converted to a body64, which is a binary base64 encoded string. So, if you already have this format available on your side, there's no need to do convertions before calling the API.

Our recomendation is to never convert your image format, unless needed. Let the gem convert internally. It may save you resources (CPU, memory and IO).

Versioning

AntiCaptcha gem uses Semantic Versioning.
