hcaptcha-collector

A Flask app to collect hcaptcha images.
This repository is used to collect hcaptcha images for this repo: https://github.com/orlov-ai/hcaptcha-dataset

How to use

1. Obtain sitekey and secretkey from hCaptcha website. Head to https://www.hcaptcha.com/ and sign up. Set new site and add test.mydomain.com as website url. Save you sitekey and secretkey, it is necessary in the next steps. Set the difficulty to 'Always On'.
2. Edit your /etc/hosts file. Add a line 127.0.0.1 test.mydomain.com. It is necessary because hCaptcha doesn't support localhost as a domain. You need to use non-localhost domain. test.mydomain.com is hardcoded in the code in this repository.
3. Install requirements. I suggest creating a new python environment. Python 3.6+ supported.
   pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Setup up environment variables
   HCAPTCHA_DATASET_PATH - make a clean directory where captcha images will be collected.
   HCAPTCHA_SITEKEY - your hCaptcha sitekey
   HCAPTCHA_SECRETKEY - your hCaptcha secretkey
5. In separate windows run python app.py first then python collect_hcaptcha.py
