Bypassing CAPTCHAs with Headless Chrome using puppeteer

Question

google finds my browser is being manipulated/controlled/automated by software, and because of that I get reCaptcha. When I manual star

Answer 1

Try generating random useragent using this npm package. This usually solves the user agent-based protection.

In puppeteer pages can override browser user agent with page.setUserAgent

var userAgent = require('user-agents');
...
await page.setUserAgent(userAgent.toString())

Additionally, you can add these two extra plugins,

puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha - Solves reCAPTCHAs automatically, using a single line of code: page.solveRecaptchas()

NOTE: puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha uses a paid service 2captcha

puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth - Applies various evasion techniques to make detection of headless puppeteer harder.
