reCAPTCHA v2 solver for Playwright Node.js

Runnable example

import { chromium } from 'playwright'
import { CaptchaSonic } from 'captchasonic'

const browser = await chromium.launch()
const page = await browser.newPage()
await page.goto('https://example.com/login')

const sonic = new CaptchaSonic('YOUR_API_KEY')
const { gRecaptchaResponse } = await sonic.solve({
  type: 'RecaptchaV2TaskProxyless',
  websiteURL: page.url(),
  websiteKey: '6Le-wvkSAAAAAPBMRTvw0Q4Muexq9bi0DJwx_mJ-',
})

await page.evaluate(
  (token) => { document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value = token },
  gRecaptchaResponse
)
await page.click('form button[type="submit"]')

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a real key from your dashboard. The token is good for one form submission.

FAQ

Does Playwright trigger reCAPTCHA detection?

Playwright is harder to fingerprint than Selenium by default — no navigator.webdriver, no automatic CDP markers. But Enterprise reCAPTCHA still scores the session; using a Sonic token avoids the scoring step entirely.

Can I run this in headless mode?

Yes. Token injection works the same in headless and headed Playwright sessions — the token lives in a DOM element, not in browser interaction history.

How long is the token valid?

reCAPTCHA v2 tokens are valid for around 120 seconds. Submit the form immediately after writing the token to maximize acceptance.
