Quick Start

One-shot: Solve CAPTCHA on current page

import { chromium } from 'playwright';
import { solveOnPage } from '@gatesolve/playwright-plugin';

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

// Detect and solve any CAPTCHA on the page
const result = await solveOnPage(page, {
  apiKey: 'gs_your_key_here', // Free at gatesolve.dev
});

if (result?.success) {
  console.log(`Solved ${result.type} in ${result.solveTimeMs}ms`);
  // Token is already injected into the page — submit the form
  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
}

Auto-solve: Wrap browser context

import { chromium } from 'playwright';
import { withGateSolve } from '@gatesolve/playwright-plugin';

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();

// Every page in this context will auto-solve CAPTCHAs
withGateSolve(context, {
  apiKey: 'gs_your_key_here',
  debug: true,
});

const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com/protected');
// CAPTCHA is solved automatically on page load

Detect only (no solve)

import { detectCaptcha } from '@gatesolve/playwright-plugin';

const detection = await detectCaptcha(page);
if (detection) {
  console.log(`Found ${detection.type} with siteKey ${detection.siteKey}`);
}
