  1. Anti-bots & CAPTCHAs

How CAPTCHA solving works

After we receive a HTML response back from your target website we automatically run the response through our ban and CAPTCHA detection algorithms. If the API detects a CAPTCHA the API will retry the request with another IP and have the blocked IP unblocked in parallel. This ensures that you don’t have to wait until the CAPTCHA is solved before you can retry the request.
