How do I find the sitekey/captcha_id?

For Turnstile:

Open browser DevTools (F12)

Go to Elements tab

Search for data-sitekey

Copy the value (starts with 0x4 or 0x0)

For Geetest:

Open DevTools Network tab

Filter by geetest

Look for captcha_id in requests to gcaptcha4.geetest.com

See our detailed guides for each captcha type.

Should I use a proxy?

Captcha Type	Proxy Recommendation
Geetest	Optional — use if target is geo-restricted
Turnstile	Recommended — improves success rates
Interstitial	Required — must use same proxy for subsequent requests

What proxy formats are supported?

http://user:pass@host:port
https://user:pass@host:port
socks5://user:pass@host:port

How long are tokens valid?

Token Type	Validity
Turnstile token	~5 minutes
Geetest tokens	~2 minutes
Interstitial cookies	30 min - 24 hours

Can I use the API from a browser?

Not recommended. API keys should never be exposed in client-side code. Instead:

Create a backend endpoint

Call TokenSniped from your server

Return the result to your frontend

Account & API Keys

How many API keys can I create?

Unlimited. We recommend separate keys for different environments (dev, staging, prod).

Can I set different rate limits per key?

Yes! Each API key has configurable:

RPM — Requests per minute (1-1,000)

RPD — Requests per day (1-100,000)

What happens if I hit my rate limit?

You'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response with a Retry-After header indicating how many seconds to wait.

Can I rotate/regenerate a key?

You cannot regenerate an existing key, but you can:

Create a new key

Update your application to use the new key

Delete the old key

How do I check my remaining credits?

Dashboard: tokensniped.com/dashboard/billing

API:

Troubleshooting

"Invalid API key" error

Check for typos or extra spaces

Ensure you're using the full key (not just the prefix shown in dashboard)

Verify the key is active in your dashboard

"Insufficient credits" error

Check your balance in the dashboard

Claim your free daily credits

Add more credits via card or crypto

Solve keeps timing out

Increase the timeout parameter

Try with a proxy (especially for Turnstile)

Verify the target URL is accessible

Check if the captcha parameters are correct

Token doesn't work on target site

Ensure you're using the correct captcha type

Double-check sitekey/captcha_id is from the same page

For Turnstile, verify the sitekey format

For Interstitial, use the same proxy and User-Agent

High failure rate

Use residential proxies instead of datacenter

Verify you're passing the correct parameters
