CAPTCHA Solving
A challenge in.
An actionable answer out.
Send a supported image, text or audio challenge with the required instructions. Receive the answer your application needs to take the next step.
Your application applies the answer. These tasks do not return a universal website verification token.
Separate from scraping: CAPTCHA solving is its own product. It is not automatically applied to requests made through the Scraping API.
Task pricing03 / Web content & research Dashboard + API
Scraping API
Many websites.
One research question.
Collect selected public pages without building a scraper for every site. Keep the content, ask AI to extract facts, research a company or classify a list against your own criteria.
Your starting pointverde.example/about
Collect the page as Markdown.
Page content
# Verde Studio Herbruikbare verpakkingen. Utrecht, Nederland. Contact: hello@verde.example
Original page content. No AI processing.
- Content onlyHTML or Markdown. No AI required.
- AI analysisYour instruction, with optional company context.
- Deep analysisUp to 30 relevant pages, with optional web search.
- ClassificationUp to 100 URLs per batch and your answer choices. CSV/TSV import in the dashboard.
Public content, clear limits: No CAPTCHA or login bypass in this API. AI results include evidence and limitations; missing evidence is not a confident answer.
Need site-specific engineering?A managed service, not another self-service tool
Need the dataset,
not the work behind it?
For recurring, high-volume collection from specific websites, our team builds and maintains the workflow. You define the data you need. We assess the access, coverage and delivery requirements.
Data you can use
Agreed fields, pagination, coverage checks, deduplication and consistent output for your systems.
Recurring delivery
Scheduled collection, monitoring and maintenance as source websites change. Scope and feasibility agreed first.
From daily ticket prices to an entire product catalogue. A custom workflow may lower the total cost at sustained volume; access and throughput are assessed, not assumed.
Account & pricing
One account. Pay for what you use.
Each product has its own usage rules. Use the dashboard first, or integrate through its API.
Live price per order
Country and service determine the price. Review the current quote before you purchase.
Check availabilityUsage-based task pricing
Successful tasks cost provider cost + 50%. Each new task reserves $0.015; unused credit is released when settled.
CAPTCHA billing$0.00045 / page
Per provider-completed page. AI and web search add provider cost + 50% when used. At least $1 available credit to start.
Scraping billingDashboard runs and API requests are paid. Credit holds and final charges depend on the product; review its billing guide before starting.
How do I retry a timed-out request without paying twice?
Save the request body and Idempotency-Key before creating an order or task. If you already have an ID, check that record first. When replaying creation, reuse the original key and identical input; for SMS, retain the original quote ID too. A new key can create new paid work. Unconfirmed submissions need review, not an automatic replacement.
Does a successful HTTP response mean the work succeeded?
No. A 2xx response can acknowledge creation or return a saved record that is still processing, failed or under review. Inspect the order or task status and its error fields. For scraping, ready means page content is available; optional analysis can still have failed. A completed classification batch can also contain failed rows.
Can separate API keys increase my account's request limits?
No. API keys share account-level rate limits, and each product also has its own active-work limits. Coordinate creation and polling across your workers. On HTTP 429, respect Retry-After; an active-task limit may also require existing work to finish. Creating more keys or polling faster does not add capacity.
What happens to my balance if only part of a job succeeds?
Billing follows each product's lifecycle, not a blanket all-or-nothing rule. Completed scraping steps remain charged if later research or analysis fails. Confirmed failed CAPTCHA tasks release their reservation. SMS refunds depend on the confirmed order outcome. An uncertain provider response can leave credit held for review; a client timeout is not proof of failure or a refund.
How should an automated workflow handle an unknown AI result?
Treat unknown or insufficient evidence separately from a negative answer. In classification, use a label only when the row status is classified; failed, refused, review and insufficient-evidence rows have no answer label. Send those rows to a fallback or review path. Confidence is a model estimate, not a guarantee that the decision is correct.
What should I send for a site-specific feasibility assessment?
Share representative URLs, required fields, an example output, target volume and refresh frequency. Include relevant country, language and authorized-access requirements, plus redacted errors from previous attempts. These let us assess coverage, access and delivery requirements before quoting. One successful page fetch alone does not establish a sustainable collection rate or complete dataset.
