2captcha API FAQ

What are your 2captcha API URLs?

http://api.deathbycaptcha.com/2captcha/in.php to upload captchas and http://api.deathbycaptcha.com/2captcha/res.php to retrieve responses, get balance and report captchas.

How do I use your 2captcha API server?

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Get the updated IP of the DBC API servers:
   • api.deathbycaptcha.com
   This can be done by pinging (how to ping: Windows, Mac, Linux) these domains or by going to ipchecking.com and inputting one of the domain names.
2. Add the following line in your hosts file:
   • [IP address] 2captcha.com
   Where [IP address] is the IP obtained in step 1. Need help modifying hosts file? Refer to wikihow.com or support.rackspace.com.

If you`re using Mac OS and don`t know how to edit your hosts file, you may check how to change your host files here and then follow the steps above.

Which captcha types are supported?

Text, image group, coordinate and token captchas are supported by our 2captcha API. Trying to upload any other captcha type will result in an ERROR_URL_METHOD_FORBIDDEN error message from the API.

What are the allowed HTTP methods, parameters and possible error responses?

These are the same as for the actual 2captcha API. Refer to its documentation for details. The only difference is that the api_key field is your_dbc_username:your_dbc_password.
