ez-harvest

ez-harvest is a simple interface for harvesting Captcha tokens locally.

Overview

ez-harvest is designed to make Captcha harvesting as easy as possible. Currently, it only supports ReCaptcha, but we have plans to support other legacy Captcha systems. ez-harvest is designed to be used by bots. It's similar to captcha-harvester, except that you'll only see a Captcha challenge window when the bot requests it.

Getting Started

Requirements

ez-harvest requires Node.js.

Installation

If you're a programmer who's including ez-harvest as part of their bot, then you can easily install ez-harvest via npm:

$ npm install --save ez-harvest

Usage

The ability to request Captcha tokens from a user is the most powerful feature of ez-harvest. If you're using ez-harvest to do this, you probably want to start it from your Node application.

// Import ez-harvest
const EzHarvest = require('ez-harvest');

// Create a new instance of ezHarvest
const ezHarvest = new EzHarvest();

// Start the server up
ezHarvest.start().then(() => {
  // Request a captcha token
  return ezHarvest.getCaptchaToken('http://www.ayinope.com', '6LdTNzIUAAAAAJxPWnEnY7PFdlXyZBO5LO8k4eP7');
}).then((captchaToken) => {
  // { value: '03ANcjospQ-VHb2nxNL28YKobvN9b84e2...', createdAt: 1520910198 }
  console.log(captchaToken);
}).catch((err) => {
  // Catch any errors, possibly: "Captcha Window Closed"
  console.log(err);
});
