+## Solving Captchas
+
+Sarin can solve captchas through third-party services and embed the resulting token into the request. Three services are supported via dedicated template functions: **2Captcha**, **Anti-Captcha**, and **CapSolver**.
+
+**Solve a reCAPTCHA v2 and submit the token in the request body:**
+
+```sh
+sarin -U https://example.com/login -M POST -r 1 \
+  -B '{"g-recaptcha-response": "{{ twocaptcha_RecaptchaV2 "YOUR_API_KEY" "SITE_KEY" "https://example.com/login" }}"}'
+```
+
+**Reuse a single solved token across multiple requests via `values`:**
+
+```sh
+sarin -U https://example.com/api -M POST -r 5 \
+  -V 'TOKEN={{ anticaptcha_Turnstile "YOUR_API_KEY" "SITE_KEY" "https://example.com/api" }}' \
+  -H "X-Turnstile-Token: {{ .Values.TOKEN }}" \
+  -B '{"token": "{{ .Values.TOKEN }}"}'
+```
+
+> See the **[Templating Guide](templating.md#captcha-functions)** for the full list of captcha functions and per-service support.

 > **Note:** Templating in URL host and scheme is not supported. Only the path portion of the URL can contain templates.
 
+> **Note:** Template rendering happens before the request is sent. The request timeout (`-T` / `timeout`) only governs the HTTP request itself and starts _after_ templates have finished rendering, so slow template functions (e.g. captcha solvers, remote `file_Read`) cannot cause a request timeout no matter how long they take.

+## Captcha Functions
+
+Captcha functions solve a captcha challenge through a third-party solving service and return the resulting token, which can then be embedded directly into a request. They are intended for load testing endpoints protected by reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, or Cloudflare Turnstile.
+
+The functions are organized by service: `twocaptcha_*`, `anticaptcha_*`, and `capsolver_*`. Each accepts the API key as the first argument so no global configuration is required — bring your own key and use any of the supported services per template.
+
+> **Important — performance and cost:**
+>
+> - **Each call is slow.** Solving typically takes ~5–60 seconds because the function blocks the template render until the third-party service returns a token. Internally the solver polls every 1s and gives up after 120s.
+> - **Each call costs money.** Every successful solve is billed by the captcha service (typically $0.001–$0.003 per solve). For high-volume tests, your captcha bill grows linearly with request count.
+
+**Common parameters across all captcha functions:**
+
+- `apiKey` - Your API key for the chosen captcha solving service
+- `siteKey` - The captcha sitekey extracted from the target page (e.g. the `data-sitekey` attribute on a reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, or Turnstile element)
+- `pageURL` - The URL of the page where the captcha is hosted
+
+### 2Captcha
+
+Functions for the [2Captcha](https://2captcha.com) service. Note: 2Captcha **does not currently support hCaptcha** through their API.
+
+| Function                                                                 | Description                                                               |

+
+### Anti-Captcha
+
+Functions for the [Anti-Captcha](https://anti-captcha.com) service. This is currently the only service that supports all four captcha types end-to-end.
