New Recaptcha API support

What's "new reCAPTCHA/noCAPTCHA"?

They're new reCAPTCHA challenges that typically require the user to identify and click on certain images. They're not to be confused with traditional word/number reCAPTCHAs (those have no images).

For your convinience, we implemented support for New Recaptcha API. If your software works with it, and supports minimal configuration, you should be able to decode captchas using New Recaptcha API in no time.

We provide two different types of New Recaptcha API:

• Coordinates API: Provided a screenshot, the API returns a group of coordinates to click.
• Image Group API: Provided a group of (base64-encoded) images, the API returns the indexes of the images to click.

Coordinates API FAQ:

What's the Coordinates API URL?

To use the Coordinates API you will have to send a HTTP POST Request to http://api.dbcapi.me/api/captcha

What are the POST parameters for the Coordinates API?

• username: Your DBC account username
• password: Your DBC account password
• captchafile: a Base64 encoded or Multipart file contents with a valid New Recaptcha screenshot
• type=2: Type 2 specifies this is a New Recaptcha Coordinates API

What's the response from the Coordinates API?

captcha: id of the provided captcha, if the text field is null, you will have to pool the url http://api.dbcapi.me/api/captcha/captcha_id until it becomes available

is_correct:(0 or 1) specifying if the captcha was marked as incorrect or unreadable

text: a json-like nested list, with all the coordinates (x, y) to click relative to the image, for example:

              [[23.21, 82.11]]
          

where the X coordinate is 23.21 and the Y coordinate is 82.11

Image Group API FAQ:

What's the Image Group API URL?

To use the Image Group API you will have to send a HTTP POST Request to http://api.dbcapi.me/api/captcha

What are the POST parameters for the Image Group API?

• username: Your DBC account username
• password: Your DBC account password
• captchafile: the Base64 encoded file contents with a valid New Recaptcha screenshot. You must send each image in a single "captchafile" parameter. The order you send them matters
• banner: the Base64 encoded banner image (the example image that appears on the upper right)
• banner_text: the banner text (the text that appears on the upper left)
• type=3: Type 3 specifies this is a New Recaptcha Image Group API
• grid: Optional grid parameter specifies what grid individual images in captcha are aligned to (string, width+"x"+height, Ex.: "2x4", if images aligned to 4 rows with 2 images in each. If not supplied, dbc will attempt to autodetect the grid.

What's the response from the Image Group API?

captcha: id of the provided captcha, if the text field is null, you will have to pool the url http://api.dbcapi.me/api/captcha/captcha_id until it becomes available

is_correct:(0 or 1) specifying if the captcha was marked as incorrect or unreadable

text: a json-like list of the index for each image that should be clicked. for example:

              [1, 4, 6]
          

where the images that should be clicked are the first, the fourth and the six, counting from left to right and up to bottom
