How to tackle CAPTCHAs with CapSolver and Astro
04 July 2024
CAPTCHAs constitute a serious obstacle to web scraping. As a reliable source of geo targeted proxies, the Astro enterprise-grade data collection infrastructure knows how often teams complain about this barrier. On average it takes a human 32 seconds to handle a single CAPTCHA. If you need vast datasets, delays caused by such blockers slow down scraping processes, irritate, demotivate, etc. Manual ways are a no-go option. For this situation, robotized solutions exist.
Purposeful productive web scraping activities imply automation. We at Astro, for instance, make sure those who buy dedicated proxies could fine-tune IP rotation specificities smartly, by direct links in dashboards, through timers, with each new data query. Simultaneously, with CAPTCHAs, changing IPs alone might not suffice. Their sole aim was stopping and distorting web automation, by distinguishing machines from people.
Seamless 100% compatibility of Astro’s geo targeted proxies with marketing software and other job-specific tools is one of our chief pros. CapSolver for CAPTCHAs belongs to that range of potential tools to utilize in a combo with residential and mobile proxies you buy. It is powerful and economically sound.
