Sample code to automate hCaptcha solution using Puppeteer

Description

This code example demonstrates how to automate solving a hCaptcha in JavaScript using the Puppeteer library. To captcha solving, this example uses the 2captcha.com service. This example solves the captcha located on the page https://2captcha.com/demo/hcaptcha?difficulty=difficult. You need to have a 2captcha.com account for the example to work.

How to start:

Cloning

git clone https://github.com/dzmitry-duboyski/solving-hCaptcha-using-puppeteer.git

Install dependencies

npm install

Setup

Set your APIKEY in ./index.js#L3 file

APIKEY is specified in the personal account 2captcha.com. Before copying the APIKEY, check the selected role, the "developer" role must be installed in the personal account.

Start

npm run start

How it works

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";
import { Solver } from "2captcha-ts";
const solver = new Solver('<Your 2captcha APIKEY>');

;(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.setViewport({ width: 1080, height: 1024 });

  // Open target page
  await page.goto("https://2captcha.com/demo/hcaptcha?difficulty=difficult");
  await page.waitForSelector("div.h-captcha iframe");

  // Get the `sitekey` parameter from the current page
  const sitekey = await page.evaluate(() => {
    const url = document.querySelector("div.h-captcha iframe").src;
    const pureSiteKey = url.split("sitekey=")[1].split("&")[0];
    return pureSiteKey;
  });

  console.log(`sitekey: ${sitekey}`);

  // Send a captcha to the 2captcha service to get a solution
  const res = await solver.hcaptcha({
    pageurl: "https://2captcha.com/demo/hcaptcha?difficulty=difficult",
    sitekey: sitekey,
  });

  console.log(res);

  // The resulting solution
  const captchaAnswer = res.data;

  // Use the resulting solution on the page
  const setAnswer = await page.evaluate((captchaAnswer) => {
    document.querySelector(
      "textarea[name='h-captcha-response']"
    ).style.display = "block";
    document.querySelector("textarea[name='h-captcha-response']").value =
      captchaAnswer;
  }, captchaAnswer);

  // Press the button to check the result.
  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

  // Check result
  await page.waitForSelector("form div pre code");

  const resultBlockSelector = "form div pre code";
  let statusSolving = await page.evaluate((selector) => {
    return document.querySelector(selector).innerText;
  }, resultBlockSelector);

  statusSolving = JSON.parse(statusSolving);
  if (statusSolving.success) {
    console.log("Captcha solved successfully!!!");
  }

  await page.waitForTimeout(5000);
  browser.close();
})();
