How captcha handling works
Our CAPTCHA handling capabilities are specifically designed for production environments where data extraction takes place. This means:
CAPTCHA solving is available during robot execution in robot workers.
The feature is not currently available during the robot creation process in Robot Studio.
This implementation prioritizes solving CAPTCHAs where it matters most - during actual data collection.
Enabling captcha solving capabilities
To utilize CAPTCHA solving features for your robots:
Contact Browse AI Support to request the "Solve CAPTCHA" feature be enabled for your specific robots.
Our team will configure your robots with the appropriate CAPTCHA handling capabilities.
