Connecting CapMonster2 to other programs

Table of contents

CapMonster2 automatically intercepts captchas from most scripts and programs sent to recognition services. Standard requests for recognition services are supported, the form of which can be found in the documentation for the services API.

A little about the CapMonster2 API

When intercepting a request sent to the manual recognition service, CapMonster2 itself determines the type of captcha and recognizes it. In addition, you can specify the specific name of the module that should process this captcha in the additional parameters of the request. Then the program will not detect the type of captcha, but will immediately send it for recognition by the specified module. Additional query parameters are those parameters that indicate that the captcha, for example, is case-sensitive. The name of the module can be taken from the list of modules, when you click on the required module with the right mouse button, a menu will open, in which you need to select the Copy full module title item.

As a result, the additional parameter should look like this:

CapMonsterModule=ZennoLab.solvemedia

Where ZennoLab.solvemedia is the name of the required module.

Also, CapMonster2 supports a balance request and returns 555 so that programs and scripts that turn off when a small balance is reached on the manual recognition service work correctly without stopping.

Automatic response return (Pingback / Callback)

The pingback (callback) method allows you to receive responses with a captcha solution from CapMonster2 without making requests to /res.php or / getTaskResult.

To receive an answer in automatic mode, you must:

1. In the request, when creating a task /in.php (RuCaptcha) or / createTask (Anti-Captcha), pass your URL in the pingback (RuCaptcha) or callbackUrl (Anti-Captcha) parameter, to which a response will be sent.

2. Process the HTTP POST request that comes from our server to your URL. According to RuCaptcha API, data comes as URLencoded FormData (application / x-www-form-urlencoded). The request contains two parameters: id (ID of your captcha) and code - the answer to it. According to the API of the Anti-Сaptcha v2 service, the content is identical to the response of the / getTaskResult method.

Recognition of CapMonster2 captchas sent from your other server

In the CapMonster2 settings, you must specify the IP and port (80 by default) to which you will send requests.

When CapMonster2 starts up, a web server will be brought up on the specified IP.

Now the server that sends captchas must use this IP address to send captchas to it. Here, either you yourself can specify this IP in the program as a recognition service, or you need to register redirection from antigate.com (or another service that you use to recognize captchas) to the selected IP.

This is done in the hosts file located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts folder by adding an entry:

192.168.1.10 antigate.com 

where 192.168.1.10 is your local IP.

If everything is configured correctly, then when you go over IP in the Internet browser, the CapMonster2 stub should open:

When sending captchas from ZennoPoster over the local network, you need to specify the local IP address in the captcha services settings, on which CapMonster2 is running.
