About reCAPTCHA v2
reCAPTCHA v2 is Google’s second CAPTCHA version that uses an “I am not a robot” checkbox or an invisible reCAPTCHA badge to identify legitimate users.
How reCAPTCHA v2 Works
reCAPTCHA v2 loads an “I am not a robot” checkbox or an invisible reCAPTCHA verification badge when a user takes an action on a protected website. Once a user clicks the reCAPTCHA v2 checkbox, the system automatically verifies their identity behind the scenes and blocks them if it spots any bot-like activity.
Detection Techniques Used by reCAPTCHA v2
The reCAPTCHA v2 CAPTCHA uses behavior analysis behind the scenes to detect bot-like activities. It tracks human-related factors, including mouse movements, keyboard interactions, and click patterns, to identify real users, making it more difficult for bots to bypass.
reCAPTCHA v2: Types of CAPTCHAs
The reCAPTCHA v2 CAPTCHA can be active or passive. An active reCAPTCHA v2 CAPTCHA comes up each time a user visits the protected web page. The passive reCAPTCHA v2 is the most common type, and it only shows when a user performs a specific action like clicking a submit button.
How to Solve reCAPTCHA v2
You can encounter reCAPTCHA v2 on any web page if you don't solve it, and that can prevent you from getting the data you want while scraping.
An easy way to solve any reCAPTCHA v2 CAPTCHA is to integrate your web scraper with ZenRows and scrape any web page without limitations.
