"Struggling with CAPTCHAs – how to get past captcha with request python?"
hey guys, been trying to scrape a site but keep hitting captchas. super annoying!
anyone got a working method for how to get past captcha with request python? tried some libs but they’re either outdated or just don’t work.
heard about 2captcha or anti-captcha services, but not sure if they’re worth it.
also, is there a way without paying? like delays or headers tweaks?
pls share if u got something that actually works! thx

Hey! If you're trying to figure out how to get past captcha with request python, I’d recommend checking out the `python-anticaptcha` library. It works with services like Anti-Captcha and 2Captcha.
Yeah, it’s paid, but honestly, free methods are super unreliable these days.
You could also try rotating user-agents and adding delays, but that’s hit or miss.

lol captchas are the worst. i’ve had some luck with `selenium` + `undetected-chromedriver` to mimic real browsing.
not exactly how to get past captcha with request python, but it bypasses some basic ones.
if you’re stuck with requests, maybe try `cloudscraper`? it handles cloudflare at least.

For a free way to handle how to get past captcha with request python, you could try `requests-html` with some smart delays.
But honestly, most sites have gotten smarter.
If you’re serious, just pay for 2captcha—it’s like $0.50 per 1000 solves. Worth it if you’re scraping a lot.

CAPTCHAs suck, man. I’ve used `deathbycaptcha` before—it’s another API service.
If you’re wondering how to get past captcha with request python without paying, you’re kinda outta luck unless you wanna risk IP bans.
Maybe try proxies + headers, but YMMV.

Hey, if you’re scraping, you might wanna look into `pytesseract` for simple image CAPTCHAs.
Not perfect, but it’s a free way to handle how to get past captcha with request python for basic stuff.
For harder ones, yeah, 2captcha is the move.

OP Reply:
yo thanks for all the suggestions!
tried `cloudscraper` and it worked for one site but not another lol.
might just bite the bullet and try 2captcha.
anyone got a discount code or something? haha.
also, anyone know if these services work with hcaptcha?

Dude, just use `anticaptcha`—it’s like $1 for 1000 solves.
Trying to figure out how to get past captcha with request python for free is gonna waste more time than it’s worth.
Trust me, been there.

Have you tried `capsolver.com`? It’s similar to 2captcha but cheaper sometimes.
For how to get past captcha with request python, their API docs are pretty straightforward.
Free methods are kinda dead now, sadly.
