Error handling

Parameter Name

Description

Throw error & stop

When an error occurs, the action will trigger an error and stop the execution of the entire app.

Retry command

If an error occurs, the action will retry the command in an attempt to resolve the issue and continue the process.

Ignore error & continue

When an error occurs, the action will be ignored, and the workflow will continue without interruption.

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.
