When Cloudflare fails, clicking on the verify box doesn't help

[misterpeople]

Hey, so I'm trying to bypass Cloudflare's "Verify you are human" CAPTCHA, and it works sometimes. However, when it doesn't work and asks us to click on the verify box, I encounter an issue. Once it clicks on the box, it never bypasses Cloudflare, and I'm stuck on the page without being able to proceed. Am I doing something wrong here?

import logging

def click_verify_human(sb, chat_id, bot):
    try:
        # Wait for the CAPTCHA iframe to be visible
        try:
            sb.wait_for_element_visible('iframe[title*="challenge"]', timeout=30)
            sb.driver.uc_switch_to_frame('iframe[title*="challenge"]')
            logging.info("Switched to CAPTCHA iframe")

            try:
                # Wait for the CAPTCHA checkbox to be visible
                sb.wait_for_element_visible("span.cb-i", timeout=45)
                logging.info("Checkbox found, clicking 'Verify you are human' button...")
                bot.send_message(chat_id, "Checkbox found, clicking 'Verify you are human' button...")
                sb.driver.uc_click("span.cb-i")
                logging.info("Clicked 'Verify you are human' button")
                bot.send_message(chat_id, "Clicked 'Verify you are human' button")
            except Exception as e:
                logging.info("Checkbox not found within the timeout, assuming automatic verification")
                bot.send_message(chat_id, "Checkbox not found within the timeout, assuming automatic verification")

            sb.switch_to_default_content()  # Switch back to the main content
            logging.info("Switched back to default content")
        except Exception as e:
            logging.info("No CAPTCHA iframe found, assuming automatic verification")
            bot.send_message(chat_id, "No CAPTCHA iframe found, assuming automatic verification")

        # Assume verification is successful if the checkbox is not found
        return True

    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f"Error handling CAPTCHA challenge: {e}")
        bot.send_message(chat_id, f"Error handling CAPTCHA challenge: {e}")
        return True  # Assume CAPTCHA bypassed if there's an error

If you've been away for the past 3 weeks, here's what you missed: #2865.

Bypassing Cloudflare is now handled with this: sb.uc_gui_handle_cf().

Read the thread, upgrade to the latest version of seleniumbase, and make the necessary changes to your code.

Thank you, I will check that though Im not using Linux is it still necessary?
Im currently on windows

[mdmintz]

If clicking the checkbox is necessary, then sb.uc_gui_handle_cf() is needed, regardless of the environment.

[misterpeople]

thank you for everything,
I updated my code and saw it work for few times but often I see it marks the checkbox BUT wont click it and i cant figure out why, now Ive seen it clicks the button for few times as I said so not sure why sometimes it works and sometimes it wont work.

import logging

def click_verify_human(sb, chat_id, bot):
    try:
        # Wait for the CAPTCHA iframe to be visible
        try:
            sb.wait_for_element_visible('iframe[title*="challenge"]', timeout=15)
            logging.info("CAPTCHA iframe found")
            bot.send_message(chat_id, "CAPTCHA challenge detected")

            # Use uc_gui_handle_cf() to handle the CAPTCHA
            sb.uc_gui_handle_cf("iframe[title*='challenge']")
            logging.info("Used uc_gui_handle_cf() to handle CAPTCHA")
            bot.send_message(chat_id, "Attempted to solve CAPTCHA using new method")

        except Exception as e:
            logging.info("No CAPTCHA iframe found, assuming automatic verification")
            bot.send_message(chat_id, "No CAPTCHA challenge detected, proceeding")

        return True

    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f"Error handling CAPTCHA challenge: {e}")
        bot.send_message(chat_id, f"Error handling CAPTCHA challenge: {e}")
        return True  # Assume CAPTCHA bypassed if there's an error

pyautogui only works on the active window, so if there's another script running at the same time, or you're clicking the mouse, typing, etc, then it won't be able to click the checkbox.

[misterpeople]

I use threading to deal with other accounts that preforms some actions, but when we see the cloudflare box with each account it stops to click on it, nothing is running meanwhile.. It also marks the checkbox orange but won't click

Try single-threaded. pyautogui keyboard actions only work on the active window. Other scripts running at the same time can change which window is active. Also try with the SB() format instead of the Driver().

[misterpeople]

I gotta handle multiple accounts though, I cannot open only 1 thread and im already using SB, is ther any other workaround?

[mdmintz]

https://pypi.org/project/fasteners/ - Use locks to prevent more browsers from spinning up while you're trying to click a CAPTCHA.

How many threads are you running at the same time?

[misterpeople]

Well the more I run the better, it suppose to be like 20 30 simultaneously even more

I think I see the issue on Windows. I'll have a fix ready soon...

[mdmintz]

Upgrade to 4.28.3 (Fixes #2889)

[misterpeople]

It worked finally clicked the checkbox, now I will have to figure out how to implement it with threadpoolexecutor and make sure the thread is on top IF we need to click on it,
Thanks! 👑

Hey, seems like on windows it wont bypass captcha automatically anymore, but only once we click on the box, Yesterday I barley saw the box and now it wont pass without clicking the box to verify.
Any idea what happened?

[mdmintz]

Maybe too much traffic from your IP, but at least it lets you through when clicking the box.
