Unlock captcha does not seem to work

[thegman]

Hi all,
I'm trying to automate some data into a Google Docs spreadsheet. My
Python program works just fine, I get an exception telling me to
solve a captcha, I go to:

https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

Solve the captcha, and run my program again. It works for a while,
then I get the same exception, how can I set my Google account to
never ask me for a captcha ever again?

Cheers

Garry

Usually this only happens when you have a number of bad password attempts. Maybe Spreadsheets doesn't like your shoes or something, though. Ask in the Docs group to be sure:

OK, will do, one thing though, is it possible that Google Docs is
wanting a captcha due to to "over use", i.e. hundreds of requests one
after another? Do you have any kind of DoS protection that may be
kicking in?

Thanks

Garry

It's possible, which is why you should ask in the Docs group, since you might be able to an answer better than "maybe". :)
