UI.Vision is a popular open-source RPA and browser automation extension for Chrome and Firefox. It’s widely used for web scraping, data extraction, automated testing, and form filling, allowing both developers and non-coders to build macros or run Selenium IDE scripts directly in the browser. However, when dealing with websites protected by CAPTCHAs, these automations often break and require manual solving.
CapSolver is an AI-powered CAPTCHA-solving service designed for scraping, crawling, and browser automation at scale. It can automatically solve reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, and other common challenges. By combining the CapSolver extension with UI.Vision, you can create fully hands free automation workflows without trouble.
This guide shows how to quickly integrate CapSolver into UI.Vision, including setup, a ready-to-use macro example, and best practices for reliable web automation.
UI.Vision Overview & Use Cases
UI.Vision RPA is a versatile browser automation tool that combines visual scripting with advanced features like computer vision (via XModules), API calls, and desktop automation. As an extension, it runs directly in the browser, supporting Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, with options for headless mode and command-line execution. It's free for unlimited use, with optional paid add-ons for enhanced capabilities.
Use Cases
UI.Vision is suitable for a range of automation tasks, including:
- Web Scraping: Extracting data from sites for research, monitoring, or reporting.
- Form Automation: Filling and submitting online forms, such as registrations or surveys.
- Testing: Running UI tests, regression checks, or load testing on web apps.
- RPA Workflows: Automating business processes like email handling or data entry.
CAPTCHAs often appear in these scenarios, especially on login pages or forms, making a solving integration essential for uninterrupted runs.
Why CAPTCHA Solving is Needed
Websites use CAPTCHAs to block automated bots, which can stop UI.Vision macros mid-execution. These defenses require human verification, leading to failures in headless or scheduled automations.
Common CAPTCHA types include:
| CAPTCHA Type | Description |
|---|---|
| reCAPTCHA v2 | Requires users to check a box or select images based on a prompt. ![]() |
| reCAPTCHA v3 | Uses a scoring system to assess user behavior, often invisible to users. |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | A privacy-focused CAPTCHA alternative that minimizes user interaction. ![]() |
CapSolver's browser extension auto-detects and solves these, allowing UI.Vision to wait for resolution before proceeding.
How to Use CapSolver to Handle CAPTCHAs
CapSolver offers a browser extension that automatically solves CAPTCHAs on pages. Integrate it with UI.Vision by installing the extension and using wait/assert commands in your macro to detect the "solved" state.
Steps to Integrate CapSolver with UI.Vision
- Sign Up for CapSolver: Create an account at CapSolver Dashboard, add funds, and get your API key
- Install CapSolver Extension: Add the CapSolver extension to Chrome or Firefox from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
- Configure Extension: Enter your CapSolver API key in the extension settings to enable auto-solving.
- Install UI.Vision: Add the UI.Vision RPA extension to your browser.
- Create Macro: Build a UI.Vision macro that navigates to the page, waits for CapSolver to solve the CAPTCHA (via element presence), and proceeds.
- Run the Macro: Execute in UI.Vision, ensuring the extension handles CAPTCHAs transparently.
Demo Code
UI.Vision uses JSON-based macros. The example below waits for CapSolver's "solved" indicator (an element with id='capsolver-solver-tip-button' and data-state='solved').
Complete Code Example + Step-by-Step Explanation
Below is a complete UI.Vision macro (in JSON format) that demonstrates solving a reCAPTCHA v2 on a demo page using CapSolver's extension.
Prerequisites
- Install UI.Vision RPA extension.
- Install CapSolver browser extension and configure with your API key.
- Import the JSON into UI.Vision as a new macro.
Complete Code Example

"CreationDate": "2025-8-20",
"Commands": [
{
"Command": "open",
"Target": "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo",
"Value": "",
"Description": ""

{
"Command": "waitForPageToLoad",

"Command": "assertElementPresent",
"Target": "xpath=//*[@id='capsolver-solver-tip-button' and @data-state='solved']",

]
}
Step-by-Step Explanation
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Open Page | Uses open to navigate to the reCAPTCHA demo site where the CAPTCHA appears. |
| 2. Wait for Page Load | waitForPageToLoad ensures the page is fully loaded before proceeding. |
| 3. Wait for CAPTCHA Solved | waitForElementPresent checks for CapSolver's solved indicator (XPath for the button with data-state='solved'), timing out after 30 seconds. The extension auto-solves in the background. |
| 4. Assert Solved | assertElementPresent verifies the CAPTCHA is solved; if not, the macro fails. |
| 5. Submit Form | click on the submit button to complete the action once solved. |
| 6. Run and Monitor | Play the macro in UI.Vision; the extension handles solving, and logs show progress. |
This macro relies on the CapSolver extension to inject the solution automatically.
Demo Walkthrough
This macro automates CAPTCHA solving on the reCAPTCHA demo:
- Navigation: Opens the demo page, triggering the CAPTCHA.
- Auto-Solving: CapSolver extension detects and solves the reCAPTCHA, updating the tip button to 'solved'.
- Waiting and Assertion: The macro waits up to 30 seconds for the solved state and asserts its presence.
- Submission: Clicks the submit button, completing the form.
- Observation: In UI.Vision's playback, watch the extension solve (visible icon), then the macro proceeds to success.
For real-world use, adjust timeouts or add error handling (e.g., loops) if solving takes longer.
