API

For every interaction an API Key is needed (UTF-8 encoding). See also API management.
In the future JSON is going to be the only the output used for simplicity's sake, if available for the respective function. The required GET- and POST-requests work basically identically for all programming languages and tools.

The best way to test the system is to simply try it out, if necessary using sandbox options (selfsolve + selfonly).
For any questions do not hesitate to contact the support.

Receiving captchas

This function is used to receive valid and as of yet unsolved captchas.
Usually 30 seconds are allowed to solve a normal captcha.

In special cases like interactive captchas up to 120 seconds are possible.
The system transmits the appropriate settings which can also be requested using the option.

GET REQUEST https://www.9kw.eu/index.cgi
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
action String Yes usercaptchanew - Notifies the system that the user wants to receive captchas to solve.
source String No Indicates the tool name of the software used (e.g. 9kwclient)
Max. 30 chars
text String No yes - activated (default)
no - deactivated
Indicates that the user wishes to receive normal captchas (enter a text displayed as an image). Also commonly referred to as image captchas.
mouse Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Also requests mouse captchas to be solved with a single click. Also commonly referred to as mouse or click captchas.
multimouse Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Also requests mouse captchas to be solved with one or multiple clicks. Also commonly referred to as mouse or click captchas.
rotate Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Requests rotate captchas, i.e. captchas that are solved by being rotated by a certain angle or have to be displayed that way.
puzzle Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Requests puzzle captchas from the system.
A larger image to be completed by dragging smaller images using the mouse. The appropriate coordinates will be transmitted as the result.
audio Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Enables audio captchas using audible sounds. (e.g. OGG, MP3, WAV)
interactive Integer, String No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated (or use a string)
Also requests interactive captchas.

Optionally you may also only request certain types of interactive captchas.
Multiple inputs have to be separated by commas without any spaces inbetween.
Variants: recaptchav2, recaptchav3, funcaptcha, keycaptcha, geetest, hcaptcha, cutcaptcha

As a developer of a software you must follow very specific guidelines.
Usually a local client/server environment or similar is needed for the implementation.


That means that the display of a process (e.g. a captcha) has to be implemented using HTML code.
The respective domain has to be retrieved by the browser engine used in an internal process, emulated if necessary, to hold up to a JavaScript verification of the domain.

If a proxy is specified all requests (except captcha and captcha service) have to be routed over it.
The following is an example for the HTML code for ReCaptcha v2:


The solution is now being sent to the local server (127.0.0.1) and port 12345.
"SITEKEY" has to be replaced by the particular code transmitted by the system.

When sending the form data the server environment has to receive the desired solution.
Several methods are described in the support section which simply have to be used reversed.

This is implemented comparably for the so called Funcaptcha but with an interval using Javascript.
For Keycaptcha the value received has to be separated with the divider ";" as shown in the Javascript/iMacros example.

ReCaptcha v3 generates a value between 0.1 and 0.9 according to the detected degree of "human" interaction.
For values below 0.5 there is a high probability of it being a bot.
The final decision lies with the site operator alone. For this reason potential incorrect solutions will only be refunded under certain circumstances by the support.
textonly Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Also requests captchas with text only but no other pictures or interactive elements.
extended Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Additional data will be transmitted, especially when not using JSON. These settings might be necessary without JSON to receive ideal input from the solver or verify it.
withok Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
The receival of data has to be reported. Otherwise the data will remain unchanged until it either times out or the report is sent and will also remain like that for new requests.
speed Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
This option may be used to receive captchas faster. This way the system assigns new processes shortly after fetching the data if possible. If there are too many timeouts, the requested number should be reduced.
speedlevel Integer No 0 - Level 0
1 - Level 1
2 - Level 2
3 - Level 3
4 - Level 4
5 - Level 5
For each level one additional process is provided, if possible. If there are too many timeouts, the requested number should be reduced.
filedata Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
The files will be integrated as Base64 with JSON. Reduces the overhead and the requests to the server as additional requests for the captcha data are no longer needed.
moretimes Integer No 0 - Max. 30 seconds (Default)
1 - Max. 60 seconds
2 - Max. 90 seconds
3 - Max. 120 seconds

Extends the maximum timeout by multiples of 30 seconds up to a maximum of 120 second starting from the default value of 30 seconds. (1=60s,2=90s,3=120s)

In return it has to be checked whether a user interaction takes place within 10 seconds, otherwise a stop or skip is to be initiated to immediately clear the process again. If processes regularly take more than 30 seconds without submitting a solution one will be excluded from using this function temporarily or permanently.
confirm Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Also requests captchas where the solution is to be reviewed by a human.
selfsolve Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Use this option to also receive captchas submitted by yourself.
selfonly Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Use this option to only receive captchas submitted by yourself. Supposed to be used in combination with "selfsolve". Usable as a short-term sandbox this way.
nocaptcha String No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Generates an empty return instead of "NO CAPTCHA" if there is currently no captcha available to solve
debug Integer No 0 - deactivated (Default)
1 - activated
Enables a testing environment to check the system without using a sandbox. It's limited.
json Integer No 0 - deactivates the output format JSON, only plain text as response (default)
1 - activates the output format JSON when returning data (response).
apikey String Yes The access key necessary to be identified by the system.
min. length: 5, max. length: 50, characters allowed: a-z, A-Z, 0-9
