Why Solve Amazon CAPTCHAs?

Amazon, like many other websites, employs CAPTCHA challenges to prevent automated bots from accessing their data. While CAPTCHAs serve a valuable security purpose, they can be a hindrance when you're trying to scrape product information or other data from the platform.

Introducing Capsolver

Capsolver offers a powerful solution for automating CAPTCHA solving tasks. With its user-friendly API and extensive documentation, Capsolver makes it easy to integrate CAPTCHA solving capabilities into your Python scripts.

Example Request

POST https://api.capsolver.com/createTask
Host: api.capsolver.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "clientKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",

        "data": "{\"blob\": \"flaR60YY3tnRXv6w.l32U2KgdgEUCbyoSPI4jOxU...\"}" // Optional
    }
}

After you submit the task to us, you should receive in the response a 'Task id' if it's successfull. Please read errorCode: full list of errors if you didn't receive the task id.

Example Response

{
    "errorId": 0,
    "status": "idle",
    "taskId": "61138bb6-19fb-11ec-a9c8-0242ac110006"
}

Getting Result

Use the getTaskResult method to get the recognition results

Depending on the system load, you will get the results within the interval of 1s to 20s

Example Request

Host: api.capsolver.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "clientKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "taskId": "61138bb6-19fb-11ec-a9c8-0242ac110006"
}
