Turnstile Task

Cloudflare: Solving Turnstile

The Turnstile captcha is Cloudflare's attempt to replace reCaptcha. We automatically support all subtypes (manual, non-interactive, invisible) without needing you to specify them.

1. Create Task

Use the `createTask` method to initiate the solving process. You must provide the `websiteURL` and `websiteKey`.

Task Object Parameters

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
typeStringYesMust be `AntiTurnstileTaskProxyLess`
websiteURLStringYesThe full URL of the target page where Turnstile is present.
websiteKeyStringYesThe Turnstile `site-key` found on the target website.
metadataObjectNoAn object for Turnstile's extra data parameters.
metadata.actionStringNoThe value of the `data-action` attribute of the Turnstile element.
metadata.cdataStringNoThe value of the `data-cdata` attribute of the Turnstile element.

Example Request

POST https://api.captchasonic.com/createTask
Host: api.captchasonic.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
    "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "task": {
        "type": "AntiTurnstileTaskProxyLess",
        "websiteURL": "https://your-target-website.com",
        "websiteKey": "0x4AAAAAAABRS0NDnxxxxx",
        "metadata": {
            "action": "login",
            "cdata": "0000-1111-2222-3333-example-cdata"
        }
    }
}

Example Response

A successful creation request returns a taskId which you will use in the next step.

{
    "errorId": 0,
    "status": "idle",
    "taskId": "61138bb6-19fb-11ec-a9c8-0242ac110006"
}

2. Get Result

After creating a task, use the `getTaskResult` method to check the status and retrieve the solution. Poll this endpoint every 3-5 seconds until the status is `completed`.

Example Request

POST https://api.captchasonic.com/getTaskResult
Host: api.captchasonic.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
    "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "taskId": "61138bb6-19fb-11ec-a9c8-0242ac110006"
}

Example Success Response

When the task status becomes completed, the response will contain the solution object.

{
    "errorId": 0,
    "status": "completed",
    "solution": {
        "token": "0.ARgAI...solution..token..here...8dK35v",
        "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) ..."
    },
    "taskId": "61138bb6-19fb-11ec-a9c8-0242ac110006"
}

SDK Usage

# Coming soon: A simplified Python SDK
# pip install --upgrade captchasonic
#
# from captchasonic import CaptchaSonic
#
# client = CaptchaSonic(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
#
# solution = client.solve_turnstile(
#   website_url="https://your-target-website.com",
#   website_key="0x4AAAAAAABRS0NDnxxxxx"
# )
# print(solution.token)
