defmodule ExAntiGate do
@moduledoc """
This is documentation for ExAntiGate - unofficial [anti-captcha.com](http://anti-captcha.com)
([antigate.com](http://antigate.com)) API client for Elixir. The antigate service solves captchas
by human workers.
## Disclaimer
This project has been intended for fair use only. It's not allowed to use it for any destructive,
anti-social and/or illegal activity.
## Configuration
The Antigate client has to be configured. At least `api_key` MUST be set, otherwise the client
is shutting down with a notice. It's possible to set it in config file or via environment variable
`EX_ANTI_GATE_API_KEY`. Note: in case of both (system and config) options exist at the same time
the environment variable value will be used.
Default options look like this:
config :ex_anti_gate,
autostart: true, # Start ExAntiGate process on application start
http_client: HTTPoison, # http client - change for testing proposes only
# ############################# task options #####################################
api_key: nil,
api_host: "https://api.anti-captcha.com",
language_pool: "en", # "en" (default) - english queue,
# "rn" - Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Kazakh language group
result_request_interval: 10_000, # result request first attemt interval, in milliseconds
result_retry_interval: 2_000, # delay between captcha status checks, in milliseconds
no_slot_retry_interval: 5_000, # delay between retries to catch a free slot to proceed captcha, in milliseconds
no_slot_max_retries: 0, # number of retries to catch a free slot,
# 0 - until (max_timeout - result_request_inteval) milliseconds gone
max_timeout: 120_000, # captcha recognition maximum timeout;
# the result value must be read during this period
phrase: false, # does captcha have one or more spaces
case: false, # captcha is case sensetive
numeric: 0, # 0 - any symbols
# 1 - captcha has digits only
# 2 - captcha has any symbols EXCEPT digits
math: false, # captcha is a math equation and it's necessary to solve it and enter result
min_length: 0, # 0 - has no limits
# > 0 - an integer sets minimum captcha length
max_length: 0, # 0 - has no limits
# > 0 - an integer sets maximum captcha length
push: false # do not reply to the sender by default (wait for a result request)
## Using
It is possible to use it in standard and push mode.
In standard mode you send a task request with `ExAntiGate.solve_text_task/2` function and then can
request current result with `ExAntiGate.get_task_result/1` or a full task stack with `ExAntiGate.get_task/1`.
`get_task_result/1` is preferable.
In push mode you should wait for two kind of tuples:
* `{:ex_anti_gate_result, {:ready, task_uuid :: String.t(), result :: any}}` in case of successfull task or
* `{:ex_anti_gate_result, {:error, task_uuid :: String.t(), error_id :: integer, error_code :: String.t(), error_description :: String.t()}}` - in
case of any errors.
For example:
defmodule MyCaptchaDispatcher do
use GenServer
# ...
# Server API
def handle_info({:ex_anti_gate_result, {:ready, task_uuid, %{text: text} = _result}}, state) do
# deal with captcha text
end
def handle_info({:ex_anti_gate_result, {:error, task_uuid, error_id, error_code, error_description}}, state) do
# deal with error
end
end
Please beware that in push mode task data disappear right after message is sent without any kind of delivery check and
in standard mode task data disappear after `max_timeout` amount of time.
## Errors
You can find most errors description in the [Antigate documentation](https://anticaptcha.atlassian.net/wiki/display/API/Errors).
A number of errors came from this client implementation and have negative codes:
`error_id`: -1, `error_code`: "ERROR_UNKNOWN_ERROR", `error_description`: will be taken from the error source
`error_id`: -2, `error_code`: "ERROR_API_TIMEOUT", `error_description`: "Maximum timeout reached, task interrupted."
`error_id`: -3, `error_code`: "ERROR_NO_SLOT_MAX_RETRIES", `error_description`: "Maximum attempts to catch free slot reached, task interrupted."
