DeathByCaptcha

DeathByCaptcha is a Ruby API for acessing the http://www.deathbycaptcha.com services.

It supports HTTP and socket-based connections, with the latter being recommended for having faster responses and overall better performance.

When using socket connections, make sure that outgoing TCP traffic to api.deathbycaptcha.com to the ports range in 8123-8130 is not blocked by your firewall.

Thread-safety note

The API is thread-safe, which means it is perfectly fine to share a client instance between multiple threads.

Latest version

The latest version of this API is 4.1.1.

Installation

You can install the latest DeathByCaptcha gem with:

gem install deathbycaptcha

You can add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'deathbycaptcha'

Examples

Create a client

HTTP client

require 'deathbycaptcha'

client = DeathByCaptcha.http_client('myusername', 'mypassword')

Socket client

require 'deathbycaptcha'

client = DeathByCaptcha.socket_client('myusername', 'mypassword')

Verbose mode (for debugging purposes)

client.config.is_verbose = true

Decoding captcha

From URL
response = client.decode 'http://www.phpcaptcha.org/securimage/securimage_show.php'

puts "captcha id: #{response['captcha']}, solution: #{response['text']}, is_correct: #{response['is_correct']}}"
From file path
response = client.decode 'path/to/my/captcha/file'

puts "captcha id: #{response['captcha']}, solution: #{response['text']}, is_correct: #{response['is_correct']}}"
From a file
file = File.open('path/to/my/captcha/file', 'r')

response = client.decode file

puts "captcha id: #{response['captcha']}, solution: #{response['text']}, is_correct: #{response['is_correct']}}"
From raw content
raw_content = File.open('path/to/my/captcha/file', 'r').read

response = client.decode(raw_content, :is_raw_content => true)

puts "captcha id: #{response['captcha']}, solution: #{response['text']}, is_correct: #{response['is_correct']}}"

Get the solution of a captcha

puts client.get_captcha('130920620')['text'] # where 130920620 is the captcha id

Get user account information
