Selenium
A reCAPTCHA solver for Selenium
Start Selenium's Chrome with --load-extension and a fixed profile folder, save your Solvecha API key once on the extension's settings page, and the extension solves reCAPTCHA v2 image challenges on the page.
100 free successful solves per day. Then $0.10 per 1,000 ($0.12 incl. 19 % VAT in Germany). Failed solves cost nothing.
Prices exclude VAT. Consumers in the EU pay the VAT of their country, shown at checkout before you pay. Businesses with a valid EU VAT ID pay no VAT (reverse charge). Outside the EU no VAT is added.
The facts
- Price: $0.10 per 1,000 successful solves (net, VAT added at checkout), or 100 free solves per day. Failed requests cost nothing.
- The extension solves reCAPTCHA v2 image challenges only. It needs a headed browser or a virtual display such as xvfb-run. Google Chrome 137 and newer ignores --load-extension, so use Chromium, Chrome for Testing or the Chromium that your tool installs.
- 99.7 % of sessions on Google's public reCAPTCHA demo got a token within 3 fresh challenges (299 of 300, October 2026). Results on other sites can differ.
- The extension is free to download. It uses your API key, so solves count against your quota.
Selenium example
Download and unzip the extension from the extension page, then point Selenium at the folder.
from selenium import webdriver
ext = "/path/to/solvecha-extension" # the unzipped folder
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(f"--load-extension={ext}")
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=/tmp/profile") # keeps the saved key
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
# First run: open the extension's Settings page once and save your key.
driver.get("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo")Questions
Does the extension solve captchas other than reCAPTCHA v2?
No. The extension solves reCAPTCHA v2 image challenges only. For text captchas, GeeTest and FunCAPTCHA, call the API from your code.
Does it work in headless mode?
Extensions need a headed browser or a virtual display such as xvfb-run. Plain headless Chromium does not load them.
How much does it cost?
Each successful solve costs $0.10 per 1,000 (net) from a prepaid balance, and the first 100 per day are free. The extension uses your normal API key and quota.
