API Design
CaptchaAI uses a 2Captcha-compatible API, making migration simple if you're coming from 2Captcha:
# CaptchaAI — 2Captcha-compatible API
import requests
# Submit task
resp = requests.post("https://ocr.captchaai.com/in.php", data={
"key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"method": "userrecaptcha",
"googlekey": "SITE_KEY",
"pageurl": "https://example.com",
"json": 1,
})
task_id = resp.json()["request"]
# Poll result
import time
for _ in range(60):
time.sleep(5)
result = requests.get("https://ocr.captchaai.com/res.php", params={
"key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"action": "get",
"id": task_id,
"json": 1,
})
data = result.json()
if data["request"] != "CAPCHA_NOT_READY":
print(f"Token: {data['request']}")
break
# CapMonster Cloud — Custom API
resp = requests.post("https://api.capmonster.cloud/createTask", json={
"clientKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"task": {
"type": "RecaptchaV2TaskProxyless",
"websiteURL": "https://example.com",
"websiteKey": "SITE_KEY",
},
})
task_id = resp.json()["taskId"]
# Poll result
for _ in range(60):
time.sleep(5)
result = requests.post("https://api.capmonster.cloud/getTaskResult", json={
"clientKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"taskId": task_id,
})
data = result.json()
if data["status"] == "ready":
print(f"Token: {data['solution']['gRecaptchaResponse']}")
break
Key API difference: CaptchaAI's 2Captcha-compatible format means you can switch from 2Captcha by changing only the domain. CapMonster uses a different request/response format.
