Variables produced
This action produces a variable that stores the calculated slide distance needed to solve the CAPTCHA.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can reference variables by using the {x} syntax or by clicking the variable icon in fields that support variable input. Variables allow you to dynamically set parameter values based on previous operations in your workflow. For the "Store slide distance into" parameter, you can specify a variable name that will store the calculated slide distance value, which can be used in subsequent commands.
Notes
This command requires an active Octoparse AI subscription with sufficient credits for execution.
For accurate CAPTCHA solving, ensure that both the slider track and slider handle elements are clearly visible and properly selected.
Network latency or website changes may affect the success rate of automatic CAPTCHA solving.
If "Auto-complete verification" is disabled, you will need to implement additional commands to use the returned slide distance value.
The command works best on standard slider CAPTCHA implementations and may have varying success rates on highly customized verification systems.
