• retryInterval <Number> optional - retry interval for making request to get captcha in milliseconds. Default value is 3000 ms. Number shouldn't be less then 2000 ms, because you have a chance to get banned by rucaptcha server.

    // captcha consists of two or more words
    phrase: 1,
    // captcha uses only latin characters
    language: 2
  })
  // resolves

  // handle error
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

  const Solver = require('rucaptcha-solver');

  solver.getBalance()
    .then(balance => console.log(`your balance: ${balance}`))

  const solver = new Solver({ apiKey: 'some-api-key' });

  // solve captcha first
  solver.solve('http://pathtoimage.com/captcha.jpg')
    .then(({ id, answer }) => {
      // do something with answer...
      // ...
      // if we received incorrect answer, we can report user
      return solver.report(id);
    })
    .then(msg => console.log(msg))
    // handle error
    .catch(error => console.error(error));

Examples

Example with async/await:

const Solver = require('rucaptcha-solver');

// create new Solver instance
const solver = new Solver({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  retryInterval: 3000
});

(async () => {
  try {
    // get captcha answer
    const { id, answer } = await solver.solve('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Captcha.jpg');
    console.log(`Captcha answer is ${answer}`);
    console.log(`Your captcha id is ${id}`);

    // we can get balance from our account if we want
    const balanceNum = await solver.getBalance();
    console.log(`our balance is ${balanceNum}`);

    // ...
    // we can report user if we received incorrect captcha answer
    // const success = await solver.report(id);
  } catch (e) {
    // handle error
    console.error(e);
  }
})();

Example with Promises

const Solver = require('rucaptcha-solver');

// create new Solver instance
const solver = new Solver({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});

// solve captcha
solver.solve('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Captcha.jpg')
  .then(({id, answer}) => {
    console.log(`Captcha answer is ${answer}`);
    console.log(`Your captcha id is ${id}`);

    // we can get balance from our account if we want
    return solver.getBalance();
  }))
  .then(balanceNum => console.log(`Your balance: ${balanceNum}`))

  // handle error
  .catch(e => console.error(e));

Why

There are few Rucaptcha clients for node js out there, but some of them are deprecated and don't support promises and async/await. This client solves all the problems.
