how to get Hotmail Captcha Image

Question

I am facing an issue when trying to read the Hotmail captcha image, when I put the captcha image url in my browser it shows an error message in browser:

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

captcha image URL:

https://client.hip.live.com/GetHIPData?hid=.c996cc5c878e4bed81dae63301fe752b&fid=779b48a5-cdf0-41c7-acd5-d1a825e53e6c&type=visual&hdid=0&rnd=efbd9f216e1e49f385e6a977dbd89051

Is there any way to read the CAPTCHA Images of the Hotmail...? Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

First go here:

This will return you javascript. From this javascript extract the imageurl:'https://....' property. Then send a request to this url. Single use only. If you need to get another image you will have to send another request to the first url and obtain a new captcha image url.

Obviously don't forget that this is far from official information. I have obtained it by analyzing how the website works. Don't rely on that. It could break at any moment if Microsoft decide to change their captcha image generation process.

Sir do you know how to get the fid to make this request? – GoekhanDev Aug 11 '20 at 21:34 — GoekhanDev, Aug 11 '20 at 21:34
