python3-capsolver

---

Python 3 library for Capsolver service API. Tested on UNIX based OS.

The library is intended for software developers and is used to work with the Capsolver service API.

Features

• Modern Tooling: Uses uv for fast, reliable dependency management and environment isolation.
• Sync & Async Support: Full support for both synchronous (requests) and asynchronous (aiohttp) operations.
• Type Safety: Enums for captcha types and response statuses.
• Resilience: Built-in retries using tenacity.
• Performance: High-speed JSON serialization with msgspec.
• Coverage: Supports ReCaptcha (V2/V3), Cloudflare, DataDome, GeeTest, MtCaptcha, AWS WAF, Yandex, and ImageToText.

How to install?

We recommend using the latest version of Python. python3-capsolver supports Python 3.8+.

Development (using uv)

This project uses uv for fast, reliable dependency management.

# Install uv (if not already installed)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Install project dependencies
uv sync --all-groups

Production (pip)

pip install python3-capsolver

How to use?

Detailed documentation is available on the website.

Quick Start

Synchronous Example (ImageToText)

from python3_capsolver.image_to_text import ImageToText

# 1. Initialize with API Key
solver = ImageToText(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# 2. Solve
result = solver.captcha_handler(
    task_payload={
        "body": "base64_encoded_image_string"
    }
)

# 3. Check result
if result["errorId"] == 0:
    print("Solution:", result["solution"])
else:
    print("Error:", result["errorCode"])

Asynchronous Example (ReCaptcha)

import asyncio
from python3_capsolver.recaptcha import ReCaptcha
from python3_capsolver.core.enum import CaptchaTypeEnm

async def main():
    # 1. Initialize
    solver = ReCaptcha(
        api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", 
        captcha_type=CaptchaTypeEnm.ReCaptchaV2TaskProxyLess
    )

    # 2. Solve
    result = await solver.aio_captcha_handler(
        task_payload={
            "websiteURL": "https://example.com",
            "websiteKey": "SITE_KEY"
        }
    )
    
    print(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Supported Captcha Types

• ReCaptcha: V2 (Task/Enterprise), V3 (Task/Enterprise)
• HCaptcha: Task, Enterprise
• Cloudflare: Turnstile
• GeeTest: V3, V4
• DataDome: Slider
• MtCaptcha
• AWS WAF
• Yandex SmartCaptcha
• ImageToText: General image CAPTCHAs

Documentation & Context (For LLMs)

• Project Structure: See AGENTS.md in root and subdirectories for internal architecture.
• Entry Points: src/python3_capsolver/*.py contains service-specific classes (e.g., ReCaptcha, HCaptcha).
• Core Logic: src/python3_capsolver/core/base.py handles the API communication loop.
• Enums: Use python3_capsolver.core.enum for type-safe parameters.

How to test?

The project uses uv for testing and development tasks.

# 1. Set API_KEY in your environment (get this value from your account)
export API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

# 2. Run tests (uses uv internally)
make tests

# Other useful make targets:
# make install     # Install dependencies with uv sync
# make lint        # Run linting checks
# make build       # Build the package
# make doc         # Generate documentation

All make commands automatically use uv to run commands in the isolated environment.
