Simplest CAPTCHA solver service to integrate into a SERP scraper - Deathbycaptcha, 2Captcha, Anti-Captcha, other?

I found these articles listing CAPTCHA/ReCAPTCHA solving services:

• https://prowebscraper.com/blog/top-10-captcha-solving-services-compared/
• https://www.privateproxyreviews.com/captcha-solving-service/

I was wondering if people can suggest which of these is easiest to use and integrate into a Python or PHP Google SERP scraper. To deal with ReCAPTCHAs.

Deathbycaptcha's API documentation seems to require you to order first.
https://www.deathbycaptcha.com/api

But there's a bunch of libraries on Github. I don't see an official Github though.
https://github.com/search?q=deathbycaptcha

2Catpcha has documentation, and an official Github.
https://2captcha.com/2captcha-api
https://github.com/search?q=2captcha
https://github.com/2captcha

Anti-Captcha.com seems to have good documentation, and an official Github.
https://anti-captcha.com/apidoc
https://github.com/search?q=anticaptcha
https://github.com/AdminAnticaptcha

Of the services those two articles mention, these three seemed to have the most number of Github results.

Currently I'm leaning towards Anti-Captcha, because they seem to have the best documentation and most organized website.

The prices seem similar, based on the first article:

• Deathbycaptcha recaptcha v2 via token - $2.89/1K
• Deathbycaptcha recaptcha via image group/ coordinate API - $3.99/1K
• 2Captcha ReCaptcha V2/V3 - $2.99/1K
• BestCaptchaSolver.com reCAPTCHA (v2, invisible, v3) - $2.50/1K according to the first article, though their website says $2/1K. They have a github: https://github.com/bestcaptchasolver
• Image Typerz Recaptcha V2/V3 - $2.50/1K, though their website says $2.10/1K. They have a github: https://github.com/imagetyperz-api/gates
• Anti-Captcha Recaptcha (v2, v2 invisible, v3) - $1.80/1K, though their website gives ranges from $1.60-$2.00/1K

Has anyone tried out more than one of these services, and can give their input on which one is the easiest to use and integrate into a SERP scraper? Do have any more or less favorable reputations, or are they pretty similar?

For ReCaptcha they all pretty much use the same process (send captcha sitekey, receive job id, check back on job id every few seconds until you get a result, send result to ReCaptcha server), so you might as well go with the cheapest. I still have a soft spot for 2captcha but I've heard good things about 0captcha.

I would suggest Death By Captcha, they are pretty strong with the V2/V3s. Their support help me a lot at the beginning.

Btw, you can check their API docs on their blog if you don't want to register yet. Here: https://blog.deathbycaptcha.com/api

Does anyone know how much you can scrape Google from a single IP after you successfuly use a Captcha API? Like about how often can you scrape from the same IP, in a certain span of time, before you get another Captcha? Like maybe per minute or per hour, I don't know what the time frame tracked would be exactly.

Also, is there some Captcha solving limit from a single IP after which Google won't give you a Captcha anymore, just block you?

It depends on your IPs, if they are clean then you can scrape few hundred results before hitting the ReCAPTCHA detection. Mostly people use data center proxies specifically set up for search engine scraping purposes. Because going with static dedicated private proxies isn't a good idea, because you never knew when you'll get in the radar of spam detection bots and they're fast in blacklisting the IPs.

So what kind of proxies do you recommend, if not data center?

Rotating? Residential? How much should one expect to pay for decent proxies for scraping SERPs?

First tell me what kind of data you are planning to scrape? If its for link building, contact form submission purpose etc.., then it's better to buy the relevant fresh data sets from services like builtwith. I've seen a BST here. Which is a lot cheaper than spending money on proxies and handling the headache of proxies bans.

I'm looking to scrape Google SERPs and PAAs. I'd ideally prefer having my own script for various reasons.

Okay, then go with backconnect rotating proxies.

Just crack using aws / google speech recognition, and code it yourself.
It is fairly easy, and far more charper then the websites you mentioned.

Use Xevil and emulate anyone of those popular captcha solvers.
