Just a heads up to anyone who has been hit by captcha flagged anonymous activity. I have had a few friends complain that they are being hit with numerous captchas in log ins, A quick remedy that some have found to work was checking their API keys for additional activity other than their own and deleting those keys.

Once deleted the captchas stopped thankfully for them as well, some users on reddit reported that it had worked for them also. Unsure if this fits in "General" or "Tools & Scripts" as some API keys are linked to such but I figured I would start here and move it if necessary. Cheers to anyone that this benefits.

PS - Don't try to bring it up to Torn staff as they are unwilling to give a proper answer or even hint as to what may be causing these issues.

Edit - If you go to API keys you will see a clock symbol. You can click on that to see what recent activity has gone through and if something isn't matching up you can delete it from there and/or remake one.

Captchas and the API have nothing to do with each other as far as I'm aware? 


If you're talking about Cloudflare Captchas, that's definitely seperate

 

And using the API won't get you Bot Huntered, since Bot Hunter looks for in-game actions.

Torn Staff won't hint at what causes this as it allows people to look for work-arounds

 

But yeah, shady API usage can happen, definitely keep an eye on that one. Torn staff will absolutely help with that one too
