The following Python example requires the
Requests module which is not a built in one and
You need to manually install it.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import requests
api_url="http://api.textcaptchasolver.com/"
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
# FUNCTION TO CHECK INTEGRATION / BALANCE
def get_balance():
global api_url,api_key;
data = {"key": api_key }
request = requests.post(api_url, data)
return request.content
# FUNCTION TO CHECK INTEGRATION / BALANCE
# FUNCTION TO SOLVE CAPTCHA
def solve_captcha(captcha_question=""):
global api_url,api_key;
data = {"key": api_key,
"question": captcha_question}
request = requests.post(api_url, data)
return request.content
# FUNCTION TO SOLVE CAPTCHA
# USAGE OF THE FUNCTIONS
balance = get_balance()
print(balance)
solved=solve_captcha("CAPTCHA_QUESTION_HERE")
print(solved)
