CapSkip's API is designed to emulate the request format of the major CAPTCHA-solving services. In practical terms, tools and tools that already call those services are able to switch to CapSkip with little Read more than a URL change and no coding.

GeeTest puzzles are notoriously tricky for automation, which is why running a solver that covers them helps a lot. CapSkip handles GeeTest locally, so workflows that depend on those sites do not break whenever the puzzle appears.

A Selenium setup remains a staple for browser automation, and CapSkip drops into it cleanly. Your your driver flow as is and hand off the challenge to CapSkip whenever one appears, so the session continues with no human steps.

reCAPTCHA tokens often catch out automations that fetch too early. The trick is simply to grab it close to the moment you use it, and CapSkip hands back fresh results quickly enough to keep that simple.
