## Useful for

- Solve a Cloudflare Challenge to obtain a cf_clearance cookie for login automation
- Estimate the cost of a captcha batch before running it via estimate_cost
- Run concurrent solves over a list of URLs with per-URL cost and error tracking

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 125 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 130 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #100.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 18
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 6
- Average over the last week: 127 per day

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
