A lightweight Captcha API made with Flask. This version is a new, fast and completely rewritten API, originally by Vixen, which was discontinued.

The API is live at PythonAnywhere (specifically, here).

• JavaScript
• Repository & Creator

Simply make a HTTP get request to the API endpoint and treat it like a JSON.

import requests

response = requests.get('https://captchaAPI.pythonanywhere.com/api/img').json()

print(response["solution"], response["url"])

or, if you'd like a async request

import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get('https://captchaAPI.pythonanywhere.com/api/img') as responseget:
            return await responseget.json()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
response = loop.run_until_complete(main())
print(response["solution"], response["url"])
