2Captcha Browser API

What it does

2Captcha Browser API combines a real cloud browser, persistent profiles, proxies, geo-targeting, fingerprints, and captcha handling in one workflow. Connect existing Playwright, Puppeteer, or CDP scripts through WebSocket instead of running and scaling Chrome yourself. Use it for JavaScript-heavy scraping, browser automation, QA, and AI agents, with isolated sessions, screenshots, logs, Live Browser View, and HAR debugging.

Headless browser scraping built to handle even the toughest sites with market-leading success rates - no surprise fees, ever. Run and scale your Puppeteer, Selenium, and Playwright scripts on fully hosted browsers, with built-in captcha bypass automated proxy management.

Anti-bot headless browser for AI agents and advanced scraping. All-in-one web data collection platform covering every stage of web scraping. Handle captcha challenges in the background, including reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Turnstile, and other common verification flows. Use residential and mobile proxies with IP rotation, geo-targeting, and sticky sessions for large-scale data collection. Connect through WebSocket or CDP and use your existing Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium scripts with minimal changes. Run browser automation in the cloud without managing local Chrome instances, Docker containers, or browser servers. Render dynamic websites, inspect browser sessions, and debug workflows with…from 2captcha.com

  Hello HN, I made this silly project over the long weekend. It’s pretty basic right now and the captchas are very easy. I plan to add captcha difficulty levels for link creators soon.

  Owl BrowserJan 2026 · owlbrowser.net · ▲145

  I've been working on browser automation infrastructure for a while and kept hitting the same ceiling: Playwright and Puppeteer are great for scripting but fall apart when you need stealth at scale. Cloud-based solutions like Browserbase work but you're sending all your data to a third party and can't control the environment. So we built Owl Browser, a self-hosted Chromium-based engine that runs in a single Docker container. The core technical problem we tried to solve was fingerprint consistency. Most browser automation tools either ignore fingerprinting entirely or apply surface-level…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
