Datadome API support

What are "Datadome challenges"?

There are challenges that typically require the user to move a slide to complete a task, verifying they are human.

For your convenience, we implemented support for Datadome API. If your software works with it, and supports minimal configuration, you should be able to decode Datadomes using Death By Captcha in no time.

  • Datadome API: Provided a site url and Datadome slideurlid key and the User Agent of the browser, the API returns a token that you will use to submit the form in the page with the Datadome challenge.

Pricing

For the time being, price is $2.89/1K Datadome challenges correctly solved. You will not be billed for Datadome reported as incorrectly solved. Note that this pricing applies to Datadome challenges only, so only customers using this specific API will be charged said rate.

Datadome API FAQ:

What`s the Datadome API URL?

To use the Datadome API you will have to send a HTTP POST Request to http://api.dbcapi.me/api/captcha

What are the POST parameters for the Datadome API?

  • username: Your DBC account username
  • password: Your DBC account password
  • type=21: Type 21 specifies this is a Datadome API
  • datadome_params=json(payload): the data to access the datadome challenge
  • json payload structure:
    • proxy: your proxy url and credentials (if any).Examples:
    • proxytype: your proxy connection protocol. For supported proxy types refer to Which proxy types are supported?. Example:
      • HTTP
    • pageurl: the url of the page with the Datadome challenge. This url has to include the path in which the Datadome is loaded. Example: if the Datadome you want to solve is in http://test.com/path1, pageurl has to be http://test.com/path1 and not http://test.com.
    • captcha_url: the url of the iframe with the Datadome challenge. This url has to include the path in which the Datadome is loaded. Example: if the Datadome you want to solve is in http://test.com/path1, pageurl has to be http://test.com/path1 and not http://test.com.

    To successfully solve the captcha you must set the User-Agent of your browser to

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/119.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

    Using and providing a proxy is mandatory for this captcha since the IP address must match the records in Datadome's side.

    The proxy parameter is optional, but we strongly recommend to use one to prevent rejection by the provided page due to inconsistencies between the IP that solved the captcha (ours if no proxy is provided) and the IP that submitted the solution for verification (yours).


    Note: if proxy is provided, proxytype is a required parameter.

    Full example of datadome_params:

    
    {
        'proxy': 'http://user:[email protected]:1234',
        'proxytype': 'HTTP',
        'pageurl': 'https://testsite.com/xxx-test',
        'captcha_url': 'https://testsite.com/xxx-test'
    }
                

What`s the response from the Datadome API?

The Datadome API response it is a cookie that whitelists your browser, effectively bypassing the captcha. It will be a string like the following:


datadome=G4TdaXfDqz0B..OJDxGGtKDktILJQEDxM; Max-Age=31536000; Domain=.example.com; Path=/; Secure; SameSite=Lax
      

Which proxy types are supported?

Currently, only HTTP proxies are supported. Support for other types will be added in the future.
