Installation

The script package can be installed using the package installer or manually

Bundler

To install a gem, you can use the bundler package manager. Download it from the link and install according to the instructions.

# Gemfile

We invite you to explore our GitHub repository where you can find ruby API client for easy integration with our API.

Configuration

Description of all the necessary parameters to configure the installed package

An instance of the Api2Captcha class can be created like this:

client = Api2Captcha.new('YOUR_API_KEY')

You also have the ability to customize some of the options for the created instance:

client = Api2Captcha.new("YOUR_API_KEY")
client.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
Api2Captcha instance options

Other methods

Additional valid methods used during the work of the main scripts

send / get_result

These methods can be used for manual captcha submission and answer polling.

# example for normal captcha
captcha_id = client.send('path/to/captcha.jpg')

# or for another captcha, for example for lemin
captcha_id = client.send({
  method:"lemin",
  captcha_id: "CROPPED_3dfdd5c_d1872b526b794d83ba3b365eb15a200b",

balance = client.get_balance

report

Use this method to report good or bad captcha answer.

client.report(captcha_id, True) # captcha solved correctly
client.report(captcha_id, False) # captcha solved incorrectly

Error handling

Possible variants of standard errors returned by the service when processing requests

If case of an error captcha solver throws an exception. It's important to properly handle these cases. We recommend to use begin/rescue to handle exceptions.

begin
result = client.text('If tomorrow is Saturday, what day is today?')
rescue Api2Captcha::ValidationException => e
  # invalid parameters passed
  puts(e)
rescue Api2Captcha::NetworkException => e
  # network error occurred
  puts(e)
rescue Api2Captcha::ApiException => e
  # api respond with error
  puts(e)
rescue Api2Captcha::TimeoutException => e
  # captcha is not solved so far
  puts(e)
end
