Puppeteer and CAPTCHAs: The Clean Approach
Privacy is a real concern when every challenge gets shipped to a third-party service. With CapSkip, no challenge data leaves your machine, so private workflows remain contained. For regulated data, this is often the deciding factor.
A major advantages of processing on your own hardware is price. Traditional services bill per solve, so your bill rise the moment throughput grows. CapSkip uses fixed pricing and unlimited solves, so you can scale does not mean worrying about the meter.
reCAPTCHA v2 is one of the most common challenges on the web, from the familiar checkbox to invisible and callback variants. CapSkip solves each of these on your own machine quickly, which means your automation will not stall whenever one appears. Because it emulates popular solver APIs, wiring it in tends to be straightforward.
Proxy support is essential for real scraping, and CapSkip works with them without fuss. You can route traffic the way your setup needs while still solving CAPTCHAs locally, which keeps the footprint natural across runs.
