Generate a pre-funded test account in seconds :rocket:
What is the password?
"" (empty string)
Do I need social media verification to use this?
Nope. Hopefully a thing of the past. Might need to adjust CAPCTHAs in the future.
Can I sell my test ether?
No.
What if I lose the key?
Generate a new one: npm create ethereum-test-account
Is it possible to use the same functionality in my tool?
The API is rather simple and it should be totally possible
Take a look at faucet.js
const FAUCET_API = 'https://api.ethfaucet.org'
const getCaptcha = async () => {
try {
const { data } = await axios.get(`${FAUCET_API}/captcha/${process.stdout.columns}/${process.stdout.rows * 2}`)
return data
} catch (error) {
const { response } = error
if (response) {
console.error('Get captcha error:', response.status, response.statusText)
} else {
console.error('Get captcha error:', error.code)
}
process.exit()
}
}
const checkCaptcha = async (token, answer) => {
const decoded = jwt.decode(token)
const { challenge, salt} = decoded
const response = createHmac(answer, salt)
return response === challenge
}
const requestFunds = async (address, challenge, response) => {
const networkId = 5 // goerli
const { data } = await axios.get(`${FAUCET_API}/faucet/${networkId}/${address}`, {
headers: {
Authorization: `${challenge}.${response}`
}
})
return data
}
