I am currently working on a scraper for aniworld.to.
My goal is it to enter the anime name and get all of the Episodes downloaded.
I have everything working except one thing...
The websites has a Watch button. That Button redirects you to https://aniworld.to/redirect/SOMETHING
and that Site has a captcha which means the link is not in the html...
Is there a way to bypass this/get the link in python? Or a way to display the captcha so I can solve it?
Because the captcha only appears every lightyear.
The only thing I need from that page is the redirect link. It looks like this:
https://vidoza.net/embed-something.html
My very very wip code is here if it helps: https://github.com/wolfswolke/aniworld_scraper
Mitchdu showed me how to do it. If anyone else needs help here is my code: https://github.com/wolfswolke/aniworld_scraper/blob/main/src/logic/captcha.py
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from threading import Thread
import os
def open_captcha_window(full_url):
working_dir = os.getcwd()
path_to_ublock = r'{}\extensions\ublock'.format(working_dir)
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("app=" + full_url)
options.add_argument("window-size=423,705")
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
if os.path.exists(path_to_ublock):
options.add_argument('load-extension=' + path_to_ublock)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)
driver.get(full_url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 100, 0.3)
wait.until(lambda redirect: redirect.current_url != full_url)
new_page = driver.current_url
Thread(target=threaded_driver_close, args=(driver,)).start()
return new_page
def threaded_driver_close(driver):
driver.close()
