maccem's Captcha Fetcher

Tool to download partial Street View images from Google's reCAPTCHA service, some of which aren't published on Google Maps.

Setup

1. git clone https://github.com/maccem/captcha-fetcher.git
2. pip install -r requirements.txt

Uses Google Chrome by default; if you wish to use a different browser, change line 11 in captcha-downloader.py to any supported browser.

Run

python captcha-downloader.py

Stop running by closing the browser window.

Your Captchas will be saved to the respective subfolders "1x1" and "3x3" in the "captchas" folder.

Note

After too many requests, Google will usually catch on and stop serving Captchas. When this happens, the application will close automatically.
