The easiest way to quickly integrate 2Captcha captcha solving service into your code to automate solving of any types of captcha.
This package can be installed with Pip:
pip3 install 2captcha-python
TwoCaptcha instance can be created like this:
from twocaptcha import TwoCaptcha
solver = TwoCaptcha('YOUR_API_KEY')
Also there are few options that can be configured:
config = {
'apiKey': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
'softId': 123,
'callback': 'https://your.site/result-receiver',
'defaultTimeout': 120,
'recaptchaTimeout': 600,
'pollingInterval': 10,
}
solver = TwoCaptcha(**config)
Option | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
softId | - | your software ID obtained after publishing in 2captcha sofware catalog |
callback | - | URL of your web-sever that receives the captcha recognition result. The URl should be first registered in pingback settings of your account |
defaultTimeout | 120 | Polling timeout in seconds for all captcha types except ReCaptcha. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from res.php API endpoint |
recaptchaTimeout | 600 | Polling timeout for ReCaptcha in seconds. Defines how long the module tries to get the answer from res.php API endpoint |
pollingInterval | 10 | Interval in seconds between requests to res.php API endpoint, setting values less than 5 seconds is not recommended |
IMPORTANT: once
callback
is defined forTwoCaptcha
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 getResult method
When you submit any image-based captcha use can provide additional options to help 2captcha workers to solve it properly.
Option | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|
numeric | 0 | Defines if captcha contains numeric or other symbols see more info in the API docs |
minLength | 0 | minimal answer lenght |
maxLength | 0 | maximum answer length |
phrase | 0 | defines if the answer contains multiple words or not |
caseSensitive | 0 | defines if the answer is case sensitive |
calc | 0 | defines captcha requires calculation |
lang | - | defines the captcha language, see the list of supported languages |
hintImg | - | an image with hint shown to workers with the captcha |
hintText | - | hint or task text shown to workers with the captcha |

These methods can be used for manual captcha submission and answer polling.
import time
. . . . .
id = solver.send(file='path/to/captcha.jpg')
time.sleep(20)
code = solver.getResult(id)
Use this method to get your account's balance
balance = solver.balance()
Use this method to report good or bad captcha answer.
solver.report(id, True) # captcha solved correctly
solver.report(id, False) # captcha solved incorrectly
If case of an error captcha solver throws an exception. It's important to properly handle these cases. We recommend to use try except
to handle exceptions.
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)
