One API for
every challenge
Change the type field, not your integration. Every challenge we support shares one request shape and one response shape.

Fields that decide acceptance
proxy and userAgent are optional on token-based challenges and required on session-graded ones. Passing them is the single biggest lever on your success rate: a token minted behind a different IP than the one that submits it is the most common reason a syntactically valid token is rejected.
minScore and action apply to score-based reCAPTCHA v3. Send the same action the page reports, or the score is discounted at verification.
Errors
Errors return a stable machine-readable code alongside a human message: invalid_sitekey, unsupported_type, proxy_required, proxy_unreachable, score_not_met, insufficient_balance, rate_limited. Anything that did not produce a usable solution is not billed.
Rate limits and concurrency
There is no per-account concurrency ceiling — scale parallel solves with your own queue. Request-rate limits are reported on every response via X-RateLimit-Remaining.
SDKs
Python, Node, Go, Java, PHP and C#, plus a CLI and an MCP server. Integration examples for Selenium, Puppeteer and Playwright.
