Anticaptcha

In order to speed up things it makes sense to increase the maximum bid in your anticaptcha account. I've set it to $10 for 1000 captchas (twice the default setting) and I recommend you to do the same.

Settings

Export environment variables for global settings:

• ANTICAPTCHA_KEY (required): register an anticaptcha account and obtain the api key from the settings
• BS_DIR: set the download directory prefix (must be an absolute path without variables)
• BS_LANG: set your preferred language (defaults to de)

Example config

exported from my ~/.bash_profile

export ANTICAPTCHA_KEY="...."
export BS_DIR="/home/manu/tmp"
export BS_LANG="de"

Todo

• error handling
• language selection
• support doodstream
• support streamtape
• support vidmoly
• add tests (should have been doing TDD straight from the beginning)
