You may or may not be familiar with 2Captcha. It’s a service that allows developers to solve Google Captchas automatically in their applications.
Closet Tools has 2Captcha integrated in the app. That means when a captcha pops up on the screen, Closet Tools can automatically solve it.
It typically takes 2 minutes, but Closet Tools waits up to 3 minutes. During that time, it will chime to let you know that it’s still waiting for a solution, and it will also chime if the captcha has been solved (or failed to solve).
Register For An Account
Instead of providing an API key, you are in charge of signing up at https://2captcha.com and getting your own API key. Once you make an account, you’ll need to add some money to it. The current rate is ~$3 per 1000 captchas. $10 should last you at least a couple of months.
⚠️ If you want 2captcha to be more reliable, be sure to use the ‘100% Recognition’ setting. It’s a little bit more expensive, but it works better over time, meaning you can more reliably leave your computer alone to keep sharing.
Copy / Paste Your API Key
Once you’ve created and account and added some money, copy your API key from your 2Captcha profile and paste it into the ‘2Captcha API 🔑’ field. Now, when you turn on the ‘Automatically Solve Captchas’ setting, your API key will be used to solve captchas.
As noted above, it typically takes 2 minutes or less to solve a captcha. Closet Tools will wait up to 3 minutes for a solution. After 3 minutes, Closet Tools will ask you to solve the captcha manually. It will also play a sound.
Once the captcha is solved, it continues doing what it was doing before automatically.
