Notes

  • This command requires an active internet connection to use the Octoparse AI service.

  • There is a cost associated with each CAPTCHA solving operation ($0.0045 per execution as shown in the interface).

  • The AI engine's accuracy may vary depending on the complexity of the CAPTCHA.

  • Make sure the CAPTCHA image and prompt elements are correctly selected for accurate recognition.

  • The "Auto-complete verification" option must be checked if you want the system to automatically click the identified text elements in sequence.

  • If "Auto-complete verification" is unchecked, the action will only identify the text coordinates without clicking.
