Turnstile has become a common gatekeeper on sites that want to deter bots without the usual image puzzles. CapSkip solves Turnstile locally in a few seconds, Here covering both challenge and managed modes. For scrapers that run into Turnstile, that removes a major roadblock.

Data collection is one of the top use cases people adopt a CAPTCHA solver. One blocked request will halt an entire run, so solving challenges on the fly keeps throughput steady. CapSkip fits such workflows cleanly.

Residential IP pools and datacenter ones behave in different ways under anti-bot pressure. Whatever blend you uses, CapSkip solves the CAPTCHA on your machine and adds no extra an external hop to the chain.
