Anyone know how to send captcha solution?

[Nijneleven]

I'm trying to solve the Challenge I'm facing when trying to generate new cookies. However im kind of stuck on how to send the captcha solution within a request.post.

First i just use the _do_authentication_request:
res = requests.post(
f"{Client.LINKEDIN_BASE_URL}/uas/authenticate",
data=payload,
cookies=self.session.cookies,
headers=Client.AUTH_REQUEST_HEADERS,
proxies=self.proxies,
)
data = res.json()

Then when i face a captcha i want to solve it using the challenge_url it gives. But how do i send the result back?
Do i need to make a request.session ? and what do i need to post in order to solve the captcha and retrieve the cookies properly?

I hope someone can tell me how to do this properly

Hello, I tried to make a new request , something like this with no success:

res2 = requests.get(
data["challenge_url"]
headers=Client.AUTH_REQUEST_HEADERS,
#proxies=self.proxies)

all time return the not found linkedin page, any ideas?

[Nijneleven]

You forgot to send the cookies and remove the #. it should look something like this:
res2 = requests.get(
data["challenge_url"]
cookies=res.cookies,
headers=Client.AUTH_REQUEST_HEADERS,
proxies=self.proxies,
)

LinkedIn either checks IP or cookies, or both for the checkpoints.

Hi, I solved using brightdata proxies and initially creating the cookie in a specified location (cookies_dir='cookies/') with refresh_cookies = True

and after with the cookie using refresh_cookies=False (this avoid another attempt to authenticate)

api= Linkedin(email,password ,refresh_cookies=False, cookies_dir='cookies/', proxies=proxies)

Yes but eventually your cookies are going to expire or get flagged. Then you need to generate new ones and you need to do that on the same ip you logged in on. Then after a little while that ip is going to get flagged aswell

Hi, I would like to use your solution but I'm not sure where to find this method: _do_authentication_request and AUTH_REQUEST_HEADERS . Can you explain me please?

brightdata proxies

Are you paying for this one? Or is there a free alternative?
