If you're running SnapBot and encounter a CAPTCHA during login, follow these steps to bypass it:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Run the Bot Once
   Start SnapBot normally. If you see a CAPTCHA, close the bot for now.

2. Log into Snapchat Web Manually

   • Open your regular browser (Chrome recommended).

   • Go to https://www.snapchat.com/web/

   • Try to log in — if you see a CAPTCHA, solve it manually.

3. Find Your Chrome Profile Path

   • Locate your Chrome user data folder.
     Example for Windows:

     C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
     

   • Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual Windows username.

4. Edit Your Code
   In your SnapBot code, modify the bot.launchSnapchat call like this:

   await bot.launchSnapchat({
     headless: false, // Browser will be visible
     args: [
       "--start-maximized",
       "--force-device-scale-factor=1",
       "--allow-file-access-from-files",
       "--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream",
       "--enable-media-stream",
     ],
     userDataDir: "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default", // Use your real Chrome profile
   });

5. Run the Bot Again
   Now when you run the bot, it should use the same profile where the CAPTCHA was already solved.

Done!

You’ve bypassed the CAPTCHA, and SnapBot should now work without interruptions.
