url 'https://api.hcaptcha.com/getcaptcha/' returning base64 instead json

[allerallegro]

The return of this url is returning a base64 instead of a json, generating an error in the control.py file, line 144.

    async def handler(self, response: Response):
        if response.url.startswith("https://api.hcaptcha.com/getcaptcha/"):
            try:
                data = await response.json()

'Exception has occurred: UnicodeDecodeError
'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf7 in position 3: invalid start byte'

It doesn't seem to be base64, but another encryption method. Or can you provide me with a demo to decrypt the data?

In this link, when you click on the checkbox, the website triggers a request (https://api.hcaptcha.com/getcaptcha/c86d730b-300a-444c-a8c5-5312e7a93628) that returns as an octet-stream.

I'm having the same problem. It also happen when you refresh challenge. But it will return decoded data when you re-click the checkbox again.

@william9x interesting. I've been working on LLM Agent application stuff for the last couple months.

I haven't allocated too much effort to open source projects, I'll take a look in a couple days.

I expected to introduce YOLOV9 and LLM to handle multi-mode challenges. Strive to kill the game.

Simple

const response = new ArrayBuffer()
const responseText = new TextDecoder().decode(response);
const data = JSON.parse(responseText);

Hello, it seems that the code you provided cannot solve the problem, as it still produces garbled output. Could you please provide a complete demo?

I will, when I have time (probably this week or the next).
Update: this seems to be affecting the collector too, https://github.com/QIN2DIM/hcaptcha-challenger/actions/runs/8318149616/job/22759735996
