Set Up Captcha Harvesters

Create and open Captcha Harvesters, test hCaptcha AI Solver, and understand Google sign-in and proxy settings in Stellar AIO 4.0.

Set up Captcha Harvesters in Stellar AIO 4.0 to handle the website verification challenges your tasks may encounter. This walkthrough covers the Pokémon Center hCaptcha AI setup and the separate Google sign-in option used by some reCAPTCHA retailers.

Before you begin: Install Google Chrome on the computer or server running Stellar. Chrome is required for Captcha Harvesters.

1. Create your Captcha Harvester

Open Harvesters → Captcha Harvesters and select Create Harvester(s).

• Name: Choose a recognizable name, such as Pokémon Center.
• hCaptcha AI Solver: Enable this for the Pokémon Center AI setup described below. Follow your retailer guide for other sites.
• Qty: The number of harvesters to create, not the number of products to buy. You can create one to learn the setup, then adjust your setup based on testing.

Select Create. Your new harvester appears on the page.

2. Set up hCaptcha AI Solver for Pokémon Center

A captcha is a website verification challenge, often an image puzzle or checkbox. A Captcha Harvester is the browser window Stellar uses to handle these challenges so a task can continue.

hCaptcha AI Solver attempts to solve supported hCaptcha challenges automatically using the computer or server running Stellar. In 4.0, this is the AI autosolve option. There is no separate serverside AI option or Auto Click setting to enable for this setup.

Turn on hCaptcha AI Solver on the harvesters you intend to use. Allow any required AI download or initialization to finish, and check that the AI status shows Ready.

Gmail Logged Out does not mean the Pokémon Center AI setup is broken. You do not need to sign into Google or YouTube for Pokémon Center.

3. Test before a drop

Use Test AI on the Captcha Harvesters page before a drop to check that the solver works on your computer. Do this early enough to resolve any download, startup or performance issues. Run only a small number of tests to confirm the setup. Repeatedly requesting test captchas can cause a temporary rate limit. If tests begin failing or show a rate-limit message, stop testing and allow the service to recover rather than repeatedly pressing Test AI. There is no fixed recovery time confirmed here; contact support if the problem persists.

There is no fixed number of harvesters everyone should create. The right amount depends on your computer and its workload. Use Test AI and your computer’s responsiveness to decide how many it can handle. More harvesters are not automatically better.

4. Open your harvesters

Select the Open Harvester icon on an individual card, or Open All Harvesters to open all of them. Have the harvesters you need open before running tasks that require captcha solving, and keep them available while those tasks run.

Creating a harvester and opening it are separate steps. Creating it saves the configuration; opening it launches the browser window used for challenges.

Follow the Pokémon Center guide for the complete task setup and current drop instructions.

Which proxy does the harvester use?

The Proxy field is on each harvester card. A proxy routes the connection through another IP address, but the source of that proxy depends on the captcha type.

• Pokémon Center: The task’s proxy takes priority over anything entered in the harvester’s Proxy field. Set up your task proxies as described in the Pokémon Center guide.
• Google reCAPTCHA: Captchas use the proxy entered on the harvester rather than the task’s proxy. Leaving the harvester field blank uses the computer or server’s own connection.

Do not assume filling this field also assigns proxies to your checkout tasks. Review the retailer guide for the complete proxy setup.

Google sign-in for reCAPTCHA

Some retailers use Google reCAPTCHA instead of hCaptcha. If your retailer guide calls for a Google login, open the harvester’s More actions menu (three dots), select Youtube, and sign into your Google account in the window that opens.

After signing in, you can close the YouTube window and open the harvester when needed. A Google login can influence the challenges you receive, but it does not guarantee a one-click captcha. The hCaptcha AI Solver setting is not a promise to automatically solve every captcha type.

The screenshot below illustrates the Google sign-in step. The entry point in Stellar 4.0 is More actions → Youtube.

If something is not working

• AI is not ready: Let initialization finish and check the status before testing again.
• AI tests are slow or the computer becomes unresponsive: Reduce the number of open harvesters and other demanding workloads, then test again.
• A task is waiting for a captcha: Check that the required harvester is open, review its window and task status, and follow the retailer guide’s captcha instructions.
• You still need help: Contact Stellar support with the retailer, exact task status, AI status and what happened during Test AI. Hide account details and proxy credentials in any screenshots you share.
