# CaptchaSonic

> CaptchaSonic is an AI-powered CAPTCHA solving API for developers. It bypasses reCAPTCHA v2/v3/Enterprise, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, GeeTest, AWS WAF, DataDome, and other anti-bot challenges via a single HTTP endpoint. Solve time depends on the method: image-recognition tasks (OCR, grid, slide) return in roughly 1–3s; token tasks that drive browser automation (reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Turnstile, DataDome) typically take ~3–29s end-to-end depending on the captcha (see per-captcha speeds in llms-full.txt). API response latency for submitting a task is <0.5s. Official Python, Node.js, and Go SDKs (plus C#, Java, and PHP), an agent-native MCP server, an official Claude Code skill plugin, plus drop-in adapters for Selenium, Playwright, and Puppeteer.
