Description​

A CAPTCHA is an automatically generated test used to determine whether a user is a human or a computer (bot). Simple CAPTCHAs often consist of distorted letters and/or digits. They may use different color combinations, noise, distortions, additional lines, or arbitrary shapes.

Other types of CAPTCHA require an action rather than simply entering characters from an image. For example, you may be asked to find buses, palm trees, motorcycles, or other objects; solve a puzzle; arrange objects in a particular order; or sort them.

What are these settings for?​

ZennoPoster lets you solve text CAPTCHAs manually. Simply select the MonkeyEnter.dll module in the Recognize CAPTCHA action. However, this can become labor-intensive when you need to solve hundreds or even thousands of CAPTCHAs!

What if, for example, the project runs around the clock and a CAPTCHA can appear at any time?

The services listed here can help. They let you avoid entering CAPTCHAs manually.

How do I connect a service?​

Connecting a service

Secret key​

Most services require an API key. This is a unique string of random characters that the service uses to identify you. For example, it might look like this: 8fc9b30e544885b8480fb590dfcbdd71.

To obtain an API key, visit the website of a suitable service and review its terms. Once you have chosen a CAPTCHA-solving service, register and obtain your API key from your account dashboard.

Login and password​

Some services use the login and password you chose during registration instead of an API key.

More options​

This field contains the URL (domain) that receives API requests. It is set by default in the program and should not be changed unless necessary. If no URL is provided, consult the documentation for the selected service.

Balance​

Once you have authenticated with the service, this field displays your current balance.

It is also used to display error information, although not all services support this.
Possible errors include IP_BANNED, ERROR_WRONG_USER_KEY, and others.

If this field remains empty after you enter the API key

An error has occurred.

Possible causes include an incorrect key (or login/password), a problem with the service, or a banned key.
