Price Tracking At Scale: Handling The CAPTCHA Problem

A Python codebase projects get a simple path with CapSkip, since it emulates the API of popular solving services. In practice, that means pointing existing code at CapSkip with minimal effort - no rewrite.

Fundamentally, a CAPTCHA solver interprets a challenge and produces the solution a site expects, so an hands-off tool can keep going. What sets CapSkip apart is everything happens locally - no challenge data leaves your hardware, and you avoid per-CAPTCHA charges.
