## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 2captcha-createtask-23aa4e14 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need to solve the reCAPTCHA v2 on https://example.com — the site key is 6Le-wvkSAAAAAPBMRTvw0Q4Muexq9bi0DJwx_mJ-, use a NoCaptchaTaskProxyless task type and my API key test_api_key.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically solve CAPTCHAs (reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, image captchas) as part of web automation, scraping, or form submission workflows. This is the submission step — always pair it with the GetTaskResult endpoint to retrieve the solved token. Prefer this over alternatives when you need broad CAPTCHA type support with a pay-per-solve model at $0.003 per task.

## Known failure modes

- ERROR_TASK_ABSENT (errorId 22): task property missing or empty in request body
- ERROR_KEY_DOES_NOT_EXIST: invalid or missing clientKey
- ERROR_ZERO_BALANCE: insufficient account balance to process task
- ERROR_NO_SLOT_AVAILABLE: service temporarily at capacity, retry later
- Malformed JSON body returns HTTP 400 or parsing error
- Unsupported task type string causes rejection

## How this service works

Submit a captcha task for solving

## Output

Returns a JSON object with either a numeric taskId (on success) which must then be polled via GetTaskResult, or an errorId with errorCode and errorDescription explaining why submission failed (e.g. ERROR_TASK_ABSENT if task fields are missing, ERROR_KEY_DOES_NOT_EXIST for invalid API key).

## Example request

```json
{
 "query": "{\\\"clientKey\\\": \\\"test_api_key\\\", \\\"task\\\": {\\\"type\\\": \\\"NoCaptchaTaskProxyless\\\", \\\"websiteURL\\\": \\\"https://example.com\\\", \\\"websiteKey\\\": \\\"6Le-wvkSAAAAAPBMRTvw0Q4Muexq9bi0DJwx_mJ-\\\"}}\", \"reasoning\": \"This is a minimal, safe test input for the CreateTask endpoint that submits a reCAPTCHA v2 challenge without proxy. It uses realistic but generic values (example.com domain and a standard reCAPTCHA site key format) and includes all required fields: clientKey for authentication, task type, websiteURL, and websiteKey. This is non-destructive and tests the basic happy path.\", \"skip\": false}"
}
```
