CapSolver

How to use CapSolver in a web scraping pipeline

CapSolver provides task-based handling for supported challenges. A practical integration connects that result to the same browser or HTTP client that encountered the challenge, then continues the existing scraping job.

A practical workflow

1. Have the collection worker classify the encountered challenge and construct the documented task for that type, using the target page's required parameters.
2. Create the task and handle the API's error and completion states. For asynchronous tasks, retrieve the result rather than treating task creation as completion.
3. Pass the returned solution, and any required client context, back to the collection flow. Validate the resulting page before extracting or storing records.

When it fits

It fits a collector with a clearly defined challenge-handling branch and an observable success condition. Keep attempt IDs, timeouts and rejection reasons so that you can distinguish unsupported challenges from ordinary network or parsing errors.

Boundaries

Task support is specific to the selected challenge type. CapSolver is not the crawler, the HTML parser or a guarantee that a target will accept a response. Do not keep creating new tasks indefinitely when the original session or page context is wrong.
