with SB(uc=True, incognito=True, locale_code='en', wire=True) as sb: def open_the_webpage(sb): url = "web page" sb.uc_open_with_reconnect(url, 2)

while sb.is_text_visible('welcome', 'h1'):
    try:
        sb.uc_gui_click_captcha()
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error handling captcha: {e}")

    sb.sleep(5)

    if not sb.is_text_visible('welcome', 'h1'):
        print("Captcha successfully passed.")
        break

    print("Captcha not yet passed, retrying...")

Due to unresolved issues with selenium-wire: https://github.com/wkeeling/selenium-wire/search?q=undetected&type=issues, UC Mode and Wire Mode cannot be combined. Pick one or the other.

If you want to change your proxy with Wire Mode (without using UC Mode), here's an example:

from seleniumbase import Driver

driver = Driver(wire=True)
try:
    driver.set_wire_proxy("user:pass@ip:port")
    driver.open("https://httpbin.io/ip")
    driver.sleep(6)
finally:
    driver.quit()

For the SB() format, there's sb.driver.set_wire_proxy("user:pass@ip:port")

If you need UC Mode, then set the proxy arg to use a proxy:

i want to use the uc mode and when the script finds certain text in the webpage it execute the proxy perform some action and then it rotats to the original ip, is it possible if so can you help ?

[mdmintz]

You have to decide which proxy to use when you spin up your web browser. After the browser has been spun up, you have to launch a new browser if you want different proxy settings.

[Damji7]

so it is impossible to execute the proxy in the same browser session, and there is no possible way to make the proxy dynamically changes when i use the uc mode, right ?

[mdmintz]

You can't change your proxy in the middle of a browser session when using UC Mode.
