Installation

(Coming soon) solveaptcha-java artifact is available in Maven Central

You can install the library directly from GitHub using JitPack:

Step 1: Add the JitPack repository to your build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2: Add the dependency:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.solvercaptcha:solvecaptcha-java:1.0.0'
}

Replace 1.0.0 with the latest version tag from the releases.

Configuration

solvecaptcha instance can be created like this:

solvecaptcha solver = new solvecaptcha('YOUR_API_KEY');

Also there are few options that can be configured:

solver.setHost("solvecaptcha.com");
solver.setDefaultTimeout(120);
solver.setRecaptchaTimeout(600);
solver.setPollingInterval(10);
solver.setExtendedResponse(1);

solvecaptcha instance options

Option Default value Description
host solvecaptcha.com API server. You can set it to solvecaptcha.com if your account is registered there
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
extendedResponse 0 Json or String format response from res.php API endpoint, extendedResponse = 1 returns JSON format response

To get the answer manually use getResult method

Tip

Use the extendedResponse(1) setting to obtain an extended response for the captcha. When using extendedResponse(1), the response will be presented as a JSON string. Utilizing the extended response extendedResponse(1) will be helpful when solving captchas such as hCaptcha and ClickCaptcha. When using extendedResponse(1) for hCaptcha, the response will include additional fields, such as respKey and useragent.
Default answer for hCaptcha answer looks like this: P1_eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...
An extended response using extendedResponse(1) for an hCaptcha answer looks like this: {"request":"P1_eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...","respKey":"E0_eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...","useragent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.6478.127 Safari/537.36","status":1}
