Bypassing Cloudflare Challenge

In this blog post, we'll focus on how to programmatically bypass the Cloudflare Challenge using Capsolver API. This can be particularly useful for developers who are working on projects that require automating tasks that involve interacting with Cloudflare Challenge protected websites.

Understanding Cloudflare Challenge

Cloudflare Challenge is a service that protects websites from bots and spam by presenting users with a challenge that needs to be solved to prove that they're human. Capsolver provides support for various types of Cloudflare Challenge tasks. In this blog post, we'll be focusing on AntiCloudflareTask type.

This task type requires your own proxies. We support most Cloudflare protected sites, including 5s challenge, captcha and other sites with verification mode. But since the site mode can be customized, if your site does not support please contact us.

There is no need to specify subtypes during your call. It is not necessary to provide your own custom User-Agent yet, we will ignore this parameter.

Creating a Task for Cloudflare Challenge

To bypass Cloudflare Challenge, the first step involves creating a task with the createTask method.

You can send a POST request to create a task using the Capsolver API like this:

{
  "clientKey":"YOUR_API_KEY",
  "task":{
    "type": "AntiCloudflareTask",
    "websiteURL":"https://website-url.com/",
    "proxy":"Your_own_proxy"
  }
}

Once you've submitted the task, you should receive a 'Task ID' in the response if it's successful.

Retrieving the Result of the Task

After you've created the task, you can retrieve the result using the getTaskResult method. Here's an example of a POST request to get the task result:

{
  "clientKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "taskId": "Task ID received from the createTask method"
}

Once the task status is ready, you should receive the result of the Cloudflare Challenge in the response.

Solving Cloudflare Challenge with Python using Capsolver SDK

Capsolver provides SDKs for Python. Here's an example of how to use the Capsolver SDK in Python to solve the Cloudflare Challenge:

# pip install --upgrade capsolver
# export CAPSOLVER_API_KEY='...'

import capsolver

# capsolver.api_key = "..."
solution = capsolver.solve({
    "type": "AntiCloudflareTask",
    "websiteURL": "URL of the website using Cloudflare Challenge",
    "proxy": "Your_own_proxy"
})

Please note that you would need to replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your CapSolver API key, replace the "URL of the website using Cloudflare Turnstile" with the actual URL of the website, replace "Turnstile website key" with the actual website key, and replace "Your_own_proxy" with the details of your proxy.

Also, note that its supported most Cloudflare protected sites, since the site mode can be customized, there might be some sites that are not supported. In such cases, you should us for assistance.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
