How do I handle CAPTCHA challenges that vary in difficulty or type?

For image CAPTCHAs, setting up an automated CAPTCHA bank where team members can manually solve them helps in real-time.

Invisible CAPTCHAs triggered by unusual patterns are harder to detect. Mimicking human behavior helps avoid them entirely.

Some headless browsers like Playwright handle basic CAPTCHAs with user interaction but can struggle with more complex ones.

I randomize user-agent strings and reduce request frequency, which minimizes CAPTCHA prompts on heavily guarded sites.

Using external AI-based tools to pre-solve reCAPTCHA images can speed up scraping when encountering Google’s reCAPTCHA.

Occasionally, changing proxies or devices bypasses location-based CAPTCHA triggers, especially if tied to specific IP regions.

For sites with frequent CAPTCHAs, I set up dedicated accounts for CAPTCHA bypass to avoid triggering them on my main scraping account.
