Hello,

- Can you check the DeathByCaptcha API please? When I click the "update" button to check my balance it returns a "Failed to login. 500" error.

Bonus question:
- Do you plan adding 2Captcha.com?

Thank you Freddy.

Hi,

DeathByCaptcha works fine for me now. Their probably had some server issues themselves.

I'm not planning to add any more auto captcha services because there are already 4 and I always just recommend using "Anti-Captcha" which is the oldest of them all, has the most workers, supports all types of captcha (other services does not support all) and always works great from my personal experience.

When I click "Update" I have "Trying to check login." and then "Failed to login. 500" still.
Would it be because logging in to DBC requires to solve Google ReCaptcha? (lol)
I'm 99.99% sure my username and password are correct.
Logging in from the website itself works fine.

I subscribed to DBC because they were the first, back then, to solve ReCaptcha without have to run a JS emulator, and a super easy API.
This is the first time I hear about Anti-Captcha. Looks cool. I'll give it a try. I understand you can't add them all...
I'd appreciate if you could still give it a look though... It used to work fine, I did not change anything.

Works fine for me.

Program uses API to login so it can't really be compared with website login via browser.

Maybe you're using proxy in program and DBC doesn't like it? The "500" code seems like some server related issues (not username / password). On wrong user details it shows 403 code ("Forbidden").

From their FAQ:
Quote:
500 Internal Server Error if something happened on our side preventing you from uploading the CAPTCHA; if you are sure you're sending properly prepared requests, and your CAPTCHA images are valid, yet the problem persists, please contact our live support and tell them in details how to reproduce the issue


I would still suggest using Anti-Captcha, the setup is the same (you just need to enter access key from the website) and everything else is done on their side.

The server running TP is also a private proxy indeed. But not behind a proxy itself. Shutting down the proxy and the ports did not solve the problem (I thought maybe they were trying to open a connection on standard default proxy ports to see if it's a proxy, but nope). Logging in from the web panel works fine though. Weird.
I will contact DBC.
Thank you for your time Freddy.
