Help Needed: UiPath Web Automation for Booking.com Login (Visual CAPTCHA Verification Challenge)

Help Studio

Hi Help > Community uiautomation

I’m currently working on a web automation project involving Booking.com where I need to automate the login process. I’ve managed to locate the login elements and input the credentials using UiPath successfully. However, I’m hitting a roadblock due to a visual CAPTCHA verification step that appears right after entering the login credentials (screenshot attached).

Problem Description:

Booking.com presents a CAPTCHA asking to “Choose all the curtains” (image-based verification). This kind of human verification obviously blocks the robot from proceeding further.

Screenshot of the Challenge:

Request:

  • Has anyone successfully handled such image-based verification in Booking.com or similar websites?
  • Are there workarounds, 3rd-party APIs, or integration strategies (like AI-based CAPTCHA solvers or RPA + human-in-the-loop hybrid approaches)?
  • Is it possible to bypass or avoid CAPTCHA in test environments using Booking.com API (if available)?

I’d advocate against this and against someone helping you here without being sure you are not violating the TOS of Booking,

Looking at their site, there are already restrictions they wish to enforce for booking, analytics, dynamic rendering, or internal APIs.

I only took a quick glance, so haven’t reviewed the TOS, but if they have a Captcha on login then likely you are violating it by using a robot to log in and can be banned for doing so.

Thanks for highlighting this – I really appreciate your concern.

You’re absolutely right about respecting the platform’s TOS. My intent was purely for learning and POC purposes in a controlled environment, not to misuse or deploy it in production. I’ll make sure to review Booking.com’s TOS thoroughly and ensure compliance moving forward.

If anyone has suggestions for ethical ways to automate login processes (maybe using official APIs or sandbox environments), I’m open to learning those approaches too.

Thanks again for your guidance!

Ideally whole point of captcha is to avoid automations …and there is nothing that directly gives you the result here

you can try some 3rd party python apis if you want to but again the success rate is less

cheers
