Definition and Usage
Complete a drawing path CAPTCHA by dragging cursor along the required path until it reaches the end point. This command uses AI to analyze drawing path CAPTCHA images and either automatically complete the verification by dragging along the required path or return the endpoint coordinates for further processing.

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 containing the path endpoint coordinates list, which can be stored in a specified variable name.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use the output variable (containing endpoint coordinates) in subsequent actions by referencing it with the {x} notation. This is particularly useful when you need to manually perform actions based on the identified path endpoints.
Notes
Drawing path CAPTCHAs typically require dragging a cursor from a starting point to an endpoint along a specific path.
The AI engine analyzes the image to determine the required path and can either automatically complete the verification or just provide endpoint coordinates.
Ensure the CAPTCHA image is clearly visible and properly selected for accurate recognition.
This command requires Octoparse AI credits to execute, with the cost displayed in the interface.
If the Auto-complete verification option is unchecked, you will need to implement your own logic to use the endpoint coordinates.
