google
finds my browser is being manipulated/controlled/automated
by software, and because of that I get reCaptcha
. When I manual start chromium and do the same steps the reCaptcha doesn't appear.
Question 1)
Is it possible to solve captcha Programmatically or get rid of it when using puppeteer
? Any way to solve this?
Question 2)
Does this happens only when without headless
option i.e
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
headless: false
})
OR this is something the fact we have to accept and move on?
Have you tried setting the browser agent?
await page.setUserAgent('5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36');
Try generating random useragent using this npm package.
This usually solves the user agent-based protection.
In puppeteer pages can override browser user agent with page.setUserAgent
var userAgent = require('user-agents');
...
await page.setUserAgent(userAgent.toString())
Additionally, you can add these two extra plugins,
puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha - Solves reCAPTCHAs automatically, using a single line of code: page.solveRecaptchas()
puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth - Applies various evasion techniques to make detection of headless puppeteer harder.
