What is Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA?

Imagine Cloudflare Turnstile as a velvet rope at a club. It’s designed to block bots while letting humans through smoothly. Unlike traditional CAPTCHAs, it’s invisible—no clicking traffic lights. But for automation, it’s a headache.


Why Use Capsolver’s Extension?

  • Zero Manual Solving: Let the extension handle the “human checks.”
  • Works with Puppeteer/Playwright: Perfect for automated scripts.
  • Cloudflare-Specific: Targets Turnstile CAPTCHAs head-on.

Install the Extension (Easy Mode)

For Chrome Users:

  1. Go to the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click Add to Chrome – done in 10 seconds.

For Firefox Fans:

  1. Visit the Firefox Add-Ons page.
  2. Click Add to Firefox – no PhD required.

Remember to add your api key and enable Cloudflare Turnstile


Advanced Setup for Automation

(For coders who live in terminals)

  1. Download the Extension from GitHub:
    • Grab the latest release here.
  2. Modify config.js:
    • Open the file and paste your Capsolver API Key (get it from the dashboard).
    • Enable Cloudflare support:
      javascript Copy
      enabledForCloudflare: true, // Set this to "true"  
  3. Load the Extension into Your Automation Tool:
    • For Puppeteer/Playwright, use the --load-extension flag to point to the extension folder.
  4. Enable Cloudflare Turnstile Support
  • Critical Step: If you skip enabling enabledForCloudflare: true in config.js, the extension won’t solve Turnstile CAPTCHAs. Double-check this!
  • Test It: Navigate to a Cloudflare-protected site. If CAPTCHAs auto-solve, you’re golden.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Web Scraping: Extract data from e-commerce sites without getting blocked.
  • Price Monitoring: Track competitors’ prices 24/7.

Common Mistakes & Quick Fixes

  • Mistake: “The extension isn’t solving anything!”
    • Fix: Did you enable enabledForCloudflare: true? Is your API key valid?
  • Mistake: “My script got detected!”
    • Fix: Slow down requests and mimic human behavior (random delays, mouse movements).

Final Pro Tips

  • Stay Updated: Check Capsolver’s GitHub for new releases.
  • Combine with Proxies: Avoid IP bans by rotating proxies.

FAQ

  • Is this legal?
    Yes, but respect websites’ terms of service. Don’t be a villain.
  • Does it work on all Cloudflare sites?
    Most, but some ultra-secure sites might still block you.
