Handling CAPTCHAs in Web Scraping Workflows

CapSkip's API was built to mirror the request format of major CAPTCHA-solving services. What this means, scripts and scripts that currently target other services can point at CapSkip needing minimal changes and zero coding.

Human-verification challenges show up on almost every form, and they quietly block any automated process in its tracks. The good news is that a capable solver handles them for you, and CapSkip takes care of this on your own machine.
