Stop Wasting API Calls: Detect What's Blocking Your Agent Before You Solve

Most AI agents handle web blocks the same way: hit a wall, throw a CAPTCHA solver at it, hope for the best. The problem? Half the time it's not a CAPTCHA. I've been building GateSolve, a CAPTCHA solving API for AI agents. And the most common failure pattern I see is agents submitting solve requests for pages that aren't actually blocked by a CAPTCHA. They're blocked by: JS challenges (Cloudflare interstitials that auto-resolve in 5-10 seconds) Auth walls (login pages that need credentials, not CAPTCHA tokens) Silent blocks (403 responses with no CAPTCHA at all) Rate limits (429 responses that just need a backoff) Solving a CAPTCHA on an auth-walled page does nothing. You burn credits and get nowhere. The Fix: Classify Before You Solve I built a free endpoint that classifies any URL's access block: curl "https://gatesolve.dev/api/detect?url=https://example.com" Response: { "url": "https://example.com", "classification": "public-ok", "httpStatus": 200, "solvable": false, "confidence": 0.
