Wait for CAPTCHa

[jgarciab]

Sometimes Google shows a CAPTCHA. Something like this would check and wait until manually solved.

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Define a function to check if CAPTCHA is present on the page
def is_captcha_present(xpath_captcha)
):
    try:
        captcha_element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, xpath_captcha]')  # Adjust this XPath to match the CAPTCHA container on your target website
        return captcha_element.is_displayed()
    except:
        return False

# Check if CAPTCHA is present
xpath_captcha = '//div[contains(@class, "captcha-container")
if is_captcha_present(xpath_captcha):
    print("CAPTCHA detected. Please solve it to proceed.")

    # Wait for the user to complete the CAPTCHA
    WebDriverWait(driver, 3600).until_not(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath_captcha)))  # Adjust this XPath to match the CAPTCHA container on your target website

    print("CAPTCHA solved successfully. Proceeding with scraping.")
