Finding CAPTCHA Parameters

reCAPTCHA sitekey

Look for:

data-sitekey attribute in HTML
k= parameter in reCAPTCHA iframe URL
Network request to google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor

hCaptcha sitekey

Look for:

data-sitekey in hCaptcha div
Network requests to hcaptcha.com

Turnstile sitekey

Look for:

data-sitekey in Turnstile widget
cf-turnstile class elements

Workflow for Browser Automation

Detect CAPTCHA - Check if page has captcha element
Extract params - Get sitekey/challenge from page source
Solve via CLI - Call solve-captcha with params
Inject token - Set g-recaptcha-response or callback

Example: Inject reCAPTCHA Token

// After getting token from solve-captcha
document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value = token;
// Or call callback if defined
___grecaptcha_cfg.clients[0].callback(token);

Cost Awareness

Check balance before heavy automation
Image: ~$0.001 per solve
reCAPTCHA/hCaptcha/Turnstile: ~$0.003 per solve

Error Handling

Common errors:

ERROR_ZERO_BALANCE - Top up account
ERROR_NO_SLOT_AVAILABLE - Retry in few seconds
ERROR_CAPTCHA_UNSOLVABLE - Bad image or impossible captcha
ERROR_WRONG_CAPTCHA_ID - Invalid task ID

Notes

Solving takes 10-60 seconds depending on type
reCAPTCHA v3 may need multiple attempts for high scores
Some sites detect automation - use carefully
Tokens expire! Use within 2-5 minutes
