Python Module for 2Captcha API (captcha solver)

The easiest way to quickly integrate the 2Captcha captcha-solving service into your code and automate the solving of any type of captcha.
Examples of API requests for different captcha types are available on the Python captcha solver page.

Installation

This package can be installed with Pip:

bash
pip3 install 2captcha-python

Configuration

TwoCaptcha instance can be created like this:

python
from twocaptcha import TwoCaptcha

solver = TwoCaptcha('YOUR_API_KEY')
<details> <summary>Async</summary> 
python
from twocaptcha import AsyncTwoCaptcha

solver = AsyncTwoCaptcha('YOUR_API_KEY')
</details>

Also, there are a few options that can be configured:

python
config = {
            'server':           '2captcha.com',
            'apiKey':           'YOUR_API_KEY',
            'softId':            123,
            'callback':         'https://your.site/result-receiver',
            'defaultTimeout':    120,
            'recaptchaTimeout':  600,
            'pollingInterval':   10,
            'extendedResponse':  False
        }
solver = TwoCaptcha(**config)

TwoCaptcha instance options

OptionDefault valueDescription
server2captcha.comAPI server. You can set it to rucaptcha.com if your account is registered there
softId4580your software ID obtained after publishing in 2captcha software catalog
callback-URL of your web server that receives the captcha recognition result. The URL should be first registered in pingback settings of your account
defaultTimeout120Polling timeout in seconds for all captcha types except reCAPTCHA. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from the res.php API endpoint
recaptchaTimeout600Polling timeout for reCAPTCHA in seconds. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from the res.php API endpoint
pollingInterval10Interval in seconds between requests to the res.php API endpoint. Setting values less than 5 seconds is not recommended
extendedResponseNoneSet to True to get the response with additional fields or in more practical format (enables JSON response from res.php API endpoint). Suitable for ClickCaptcha, Canvas

[!IMPORTANT]
Once callback is defined for the 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 get_result method

send / get_result

These methods can be used for manual captcha submission and answer polling. The send() method supports sending any captcha
type, to specify the captcha type you must send value method manually, for example method='recaptcha' for solving reCaptcha.
You can find the value of the method parameter in the API documentation.

Example for solving Normal captcha manually:

. . . . . 


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

python
balance = solver.balance()

report

<sup>API method description.</sup>

Use this method to report good or bad captcha answers.

python

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.
The list of all errors can be found in the API documentation.

python
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 the following methods: recaptcha, funcaptcha, geetest, geetest v4,
keycaptcha, capy puzzle, lemin, atbcaptcha, turnstile, amazon waf, mtcaptcha, friendly captcha, cutcaptcha, Tencent, DataDome, cybersiara.

The proxy will be forwarded to the API to solve the captcha.

We have our own proxies that we can offer you. Buy residential proxies to avoid restrictions and blocks. Quick start.

python
proxy={
    'type': 'HTTPS',
    'uri': 'login:password@IP_address:PORT'
}

Async calls

To use the async version, just replace TwoCaptcha with AsyncTwoCaptcha:

python
import asyncio
from twocaptcha import AsyncTwoCaptcha

async def solve_captcha():
    solver = AsyncTwoCaptcha('YOUR_API_KEY')
    
    try:
        recaptcha_result = await solver.recaptcha(...)
        return recaptcha_result
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        return None

if __name__ == '__main__':
    result = asyncio.run(solve_captcha())

The AsyncTwoCaptcha class supports all the same methods and parameters as the synchronous TwoCaptcha class but operates asynchronously. Configuration is identical.

Solving Multiple Captchas in Parallel

One of the main advantages of using async support is the ability to solve multiple captchas concurrently:

python
async def solve_multiple_captchas():
    solver = AsyncTwoCaptcha('YOUR_API_KEY')
    
    # Start all tasks simultaneously
    task1 = asyncio.create_task(solver.text('What color is the sky on a clear day?'))
    task2 = asyncio.create_task(solver.text('What is 2+2?'))
    task3 = asyncio.create_task(solver.text('Name of the planet we live on?'))
    
    # Wait for all tasks to complete
    results = await asyncio.gather(task1, task2, task3, return_exceptions=True)
    return results

# This completes much faster than solving captchas sequentially
results = asyncio.run(solve_multiple_captchas())

Examples of solving all supported captcha types asynchronously are located in the examples/async directory directory.

Legacy Async Method

For backward compatibility, you can also use the traditional executor-based approach with the synchronous client:

python
import asyncio
import concurrent.futures
from twocaptcha import TwoCaptcha

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
image = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoA..."

async def captchaSolver(image):
    loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
    with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as pool:
        result = await loop.run_in_executor(pool, lambda: TwoCaptcha(API_KEY).normal(image))
        return result

captcha_result = asyncio.run(captchaSolver(image))

Examples

Examples of solving all supported captcha types are located in the examples directory.

Examples using Selenium

Also we have a separate repository you can find examples of captcha solving using Selenium library. At the moment we have implemented examples of bypassing reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare, Coordinates, MTCaptcha, normal captcha (image captcha) and text captcha using Selenium.
