CAPTCHA API Free Trial: 0.10 USD on Sign-Up with Telegram

New accounts that register with a verified email, then bind and verify one Telegram account in the console, receive 0.10 USD of trial credit once. The credit goes straight into the wallet, so you can call the task API without topping up.

How to claim

1. Create an account: request an email code first, then set a password. Only email addresses that pass verification can open an account.
2. Sign in to the console, open the Security page and click "Generate binding link" to get a one-time link valid for 15 minutes.
3. Open that link in Telegram and press Start. The bot replies with the result and the console page refreshes within a few seconds.

Amount and limits

• 0.10 USD, never expires, billed per successful task; failed tasks, or tasks cancelled before dispatch, release the reservation.
• A trial account can run 1 task at a time: submit the next one after the previous finishes. Any top-up credits the balance and automatically restores the default global concurrency (5); no need to contact support.
• Binding cannot be undone, and one Telegram account can claim the credit only once, so registering again does not grant another credit. Deduplication uses the numeric Telegram ID.
• The trial credit shares the normal wallet and works for any enabled (available: true) CAPTCHA type.

Scope

• Use it only on sites and workflows you are authorized to test; submitting a task accepts the platform's authorized-testing terms.
• The credit does not cover disabled types; check live pricing for availability and current per-task price before creating a task.
• During the trial the same key scopes, IP allowlists and spend safety thresholds apply; see the quick start.

After claiming: get a Key and run your first task

The credit alone is not enough — you still need an API key to call the task API:

1. Open the API Key page in the console and create a key with the tasks scope. Leave the IP allowlist empty for no restriction, or restrict it to your egress IP.
2. If the page reports self-service creation disabled, open a support ticket and ask operations to enable it; mention the account email and your intended use, then create the key again.
3. With a key in hand, check live pricing so the target type is available: true, then follow the quick start for a minimal run: POST /v1/tasks to create, GET /v1/tasks/{taskId} to poll.

The trial credit only covers successful tasks; keys, balance and task state come from the console, not from the examples.

FAQ

• Do I need a card or a top-up? No. The credit arrives right after Telegram verification; payment steps are only used when you top up yourself.
• How many tasks does 0.1 USD cover? It depends on the per-type price: divide by priceMicros from the live price table. Each successful task is charged once.
• Why is concurrency limited to 1? The trial credit is sized for a single concurrent task to prevent abuse; topping up restores normal concurrency.
• What if the Telegram link expired? Generate a new one on the Security page; the previous link stops working immediately.
