Hi All,

I am trying to handle captcha on https://www.irctc.co.in/eticketing/loginHome.jsf.

Is there any API for captcha?Please let me know.

Thanks,

What are you trying to achieve ? 

Reason behind introducing captcha is to avoid automated attacks.  This is not good test case for automation.

You should not try to automate captcha’s. If this is your own site you
should be able to disable it in your testing environment.

If it’s not your own site, you probably shouldn’t be trying to
circumvent security measures.

Captcha was intoriduced only to avoid such kind of scenarios as sites were unnecessarily getting hits which used to hamper the site performance.

If the product is owned by you, then probably in qa env you can handle as the product would definitely have some API or a DB table to generate or to get the captcha.
