I am contributing to wikimedia-commons android app and
we encountered a
case where we need to show CAPTCHA within the app, is there any end-points
available for this ? To Complete the CAPTCHA verification when it's
required ?
It's integrated in the endpoints for the actions that involve solving a
captcha. Usually it involves submitting a 'captchaid' and 'captchaword'
(or
in some cases 'captchaId' and 'captchaWord') parameters after having
received the captcha ID and the captcha image URL. For the login/signup
apis you can learn those via the authmanagerinfo endpoint, for most other
APIs you need to submit the data without a captcha first, and the error you
get in response will contain those parameters.
