Step 2: Make your Text CAPTCHA bypass request
After signing up, you'll get to the Request Builder. To try it out, enter your target URL, activate the JS Rendering boost mode, add Premium Proxies, and select your favorite language. Then, click "Try it" and ZenRows will automatically bypass Anti-bots for you.
You can use the cURL option to perform requests if your language doesn't appear.
Did it work? Retry your request if needed, which will be enough in 99.7% of the cases. For the rest, go to Settings → Integrations to pass to enable passing the request to a human.
Step 3: Scrape all CAPTCHA-protected pages
Now when you see it works, copy the generated code and integrate it into your codebase.
Happy scraping!

About Text CAPTCHA
A Text CAPTCHA uses random text identification to differentiate between bots and humans. Popular websites that use Text CAPTCHA are Amazon, Google, and Airbnb.
How Text CAPTCHA Works
The Text CAPTCHA can be active or passive, depending on how a website implements it. Both involve typing randomized texts into an input box to access a web page. Active Text CAPTCHAs come up as soon as you get to the protected web page, while the passive types only come up based on specific bot scores or a user's action.
Detection Techniques Used by Text CAPTCHA
Text CAPTCHAs are difficult for automated scripts to interpret and solve due to text distortion and randomization. This blocks your web scraper and prevents you from extracting content.
Solve all Text CAPTCHAs by integrating ZenRows with your web scraper and scrape any website without limitation.
Text CAPTCHA: Types of CAPTCHAs
The Text CAPTCHA comes with various difficulties, and you can't tell when it will come up during web scraping.

How to Solve Text CAPTCHAs
You can encounter the Turnstile challenge while accessing any web page, ranging from product pages to those containing comments and login forms. The backstory is that Cloudflare Turnstile will block you from obtaining the data you need if you don't solve it.
An easy way to solve the Turnstile challenge and forget about getting blocked is to integrate your scraper with ZenRows, the most popular web scraping solution.
How to Bypass Text CAPTCHAs
For a Cloudflare Turnstile bypass, you must know Cloudflare uses different protection levels on different websites. That being said, the difficulty in accessing different web pages on the same website can vary. For example, a homepage is usually less protected than product pages, and those are typically less protected than other ones.
If you're looking for an easy way to get access to any web page on the internet, regardless of its level of protection, ZenRows is the most popular tool for that, and it's compatible with any programming language.
