Cloudflare Turnstile explicit rendering demo
This page renders its Cloudflare Turnstile widget explicitly: api.js loads with ?render=explicit, and the page's own script calls turnstile.render() with the sitekey. The HTML holds only an empty container, so the sitekey has to be found in the script.

The verdict
The token goes to this site's API, which asks Cloudflare's siteverify with the widget's secret key. The reply is shown as it came.

What this widget is
Explicit rendering gives the page control: it decides when and where the widget appears by calling turnstile.render(container, options), and gets back a widget ID for turnstile.getResponse(), turnstile.reset() and turnstile.remove(). Single-page apps use it.
The options object holds what implicit rendering keeps in data- attributes: sitekey, action, cData, appearance, size and callbacks.
Bring a token from elsewhere: the Cloudflare Turnstile token checker.
How to use the result
The task's result is a token: the same value a browser puts in the form's hidden cf-turnstile-response field. Send it where the page's own form sends it, in the same field. On this page that is the check at the top, beside the widget, which asks Cloudflare's siteverify about it with this widget's secret and shows the verdict; a task's token goes in its token box.
A token passes siteverify once, within 300 seconds of the solve. Use it straight away, and solve again for the next submission rather than reusing one.
How to recognise it on a real site
api.js loaded with ?render=explicit, often with &onload= naming a function, and a turnstile.render( call in the page's scripts. On this page the container carries the options as data- attributes, and the page's script passes them to turnstile.render().
The page loads https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js, the only script Cloudflare supports: it must not be copied, proxied or cached.
The widget itself is an iframe from challenges.cloudflare.com, under /cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/. Its requests go to Cloudflare, never to the site.
Inside a form, the widget adds a hidden input named cf-turnstile-response and puts the token there. The site's server checks it with POST https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify.
No cookie is set on the site's own domain: the widget's state lives in Cloudflare's iframe.

Which ZeroCaptcha task solves the explicitly rendered Cloudflare Turnstile widget?
TurnstileTaskProxyless, or TurnstileTask to solve through your own proxy, with the page's URL and its sitekey, plus action and cdata when the widget sets them. The same task solves every Cloudflare Turnstile widget, whatever its mode or appearance.
How do I find the sitekey of an explicitly rendered widget?
Search the page's scripts for turnstile.render or sitekey, or watch the widget's iframe load from challenges.cloudflare.com in the network panel. The sitekey finder tool reads both from pasted HTML.
