Hi,

I am trying to scrape a website that implements a JavaScript "noCAPTCHA ReCAPTCHA" and I don't want to hire some India people to simply answer the puzzles...I want to actually either answer the CAPTCHA or some how get past it so I can to the data I want..

The CAPTCHA in question is JAVAScript based and comes from the Google API...it has you check a box saying "I'm not a robot," and then it shows you nine images, and you must click the correct images for the CAPTCHA to release.

Has anybody figured out how to break these sorts of things?

Why do you think people add these items to their website?

You want to defeat an anti-bot protection in order to have your bot program to do something that the author of the site don't want you to do.
that is hacking activity, so you are at the wrong place.

Otherwise, you have mainly 2 solutions
- Create an app that is able to read the pictures and get the answer from the reading.
- Create an app that memorise all the pictures and their answers, in order to answer automatically.
Both solutions require a huge effort that may not be cheaper than hiring some people from India to answer the questions.

The "noCAPTCHA ReCAPTCHA" is made especially to defeat what you want to do.
