To get around it, you have to obtain a special cookie (<code>aws-waf-token</code>). I didn’t want to use full browser automation just for this, it’s too slow, fragile, and expensive at scale. Paid services offering similar solutions didn’t really fit my needs either.</p> <p>So I built a small solution that solves the CAPTCHA by simulating only the parts of a browser that AWS WAF actually cares about. It uses very little memory (128 MB) and is much faster than running a real browser ⚡</p> <p>I published it for free (I'll not be making any money from this since it's pay-per-usage) on <a href="https://apify.com/azzouzana/aws-waf-bypass-captcha-solver" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apify</a>, simply to help the community.

Everything is explained in more detail in the documentation.</p> <p><a href="https://apify.com/azzouzana/aws-waf-bypass-captcha-solver" rel="noopener noreferrer">Try it here →</a></p> <p>Give it a try and let me know what you think 🙏</p> captchas node ai antibots
