2Captcha

2Captcha is a CAPTCHA-solving service that developers and automation teams connect through an API. Most tasks are solved automatically by AI, and the ones that cannot be solved that way are routed to human workers.

Besides CAPTCHA solving, the service offers web scraping, browser automation and MCP tools for AI agents.

Key Solutions and Advantages of 2Captcha

2Captcha is built around one API workflow: a script submits a CAPTCHA, receives a task ID and then requests the solution by that ID.

CAPTCHA Solving API

The API covers the most common verification types used on websites.

reCAPTCHA v2 (including Callback and Invisible), reCAPTCHA v3 and reCAPTCHA Enterprise;
Cloudflare Turnstile;
image captchas;
Arkose Labs (FunCaptcha), Amazon captcha (AWS WAF) and ALTCHA;
payment only for solved captchas, with prices that do not depend on server load.

Browser Extensions and Automation Tools

For work outside custom code, 2Captcha provides browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge. The API is used with Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, Cypress and other automation tools, and 2Captcha reports that it is integrated into 4,500+ software products through an API key.

Data and AI Tools

The product line also includes a Browser API, a Scraper API, a Web Unblocker that charges only for successful extractions, and Web MCP, Browser MCP, Web Search MCP and Web Scraper MCP for AI agents.

Platform Features

Code samples are available for Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Go, C#, JavaScript and C++, with public documentation and examples on GitHub. Pricing is set per 1,000 solved captchas: image captchas from €0.5, reCAPTCHA v2 from €0.99 and Cloudflare Turnstile at €1.4. 2Captcha states 99.9% uptime and provides technical support 24/7.

Who 2Captcha Is For

2Captcha can be useful for teams whose automated workflows regularly run into verification steps.

The service is suitable for:

QA engineers and developers running end-to-end tests and CI/CD pipelines;
penetration testers checking WAF and bot protection;
businesses collecting market, price and SEO data;
researchers and ML teams working with OSINT and datasets;
teams that need OCR, document digitization or data labeling.

Use Cases

2Captcha covers tasks where a script must pass a CAPTCHA to continue.

Typical use cases include:

automated testing - passing verification steps in end-to-end tests;
data collection - continuing scraping jobs that meet a CAPTCHA;
browser automation - solving CAPTCHAs inside Selenium, Puppeteer or Playwright scripts;
security testing - checking how bot protection behaves;
AI agents - giving agents web access through MCP tools;
web accessibility - helping users who cannot pass visual challenges.

Benefits for Afina Users

Afina Browser runs isolated browser profiles and no-code RPA scripts that repeat the same actions across many profiles. When such a script meets a CAPTCHA, the run stops unless the CAPTCHA is passed to a solving service.

The official 2Captcha Solver extension can be added to an Afina profile. With an API key entered in its settings, the extension detects a supported CAPTCHA, sends it to 2Captcha and inserts the answer, while the RPA script waits for the page state to change and then continues. Each profile keeps its own fingerprint, proxy and cookies, so a CAPTCHA in one session does not affect the others.
