24	Rate limit reached - IP Blocked until captcha is solved

How do I solve this captcha? Is there some API endpoint for this or?

@simoniz0r Did you ever find a solution for this? If you wait a day or two can you use the api again?

Edit: Answering this myself... if you visit qwant.com and do a search it prompts you for a captcha.

You can check the line in the code: https://github.com/NLDev/qwant-api/blob/master/lib/qwant-api.js#L52 and replace:

https://api.qwant.com/api/search/${keyword}?count=${count}&q=${query}&t=${query}&f=&offset=${offset}&locale=${lang}&uiv=4

with

http://api.scraperapi.com/?api_key=YOURAPIKEY&url=https://api.qwant.com/api/search/${keyword}?count=${count}&q=${query}&t=${query}&f=&offset=${offset}&locale=${lang}&uiv=4

You can register with scraperapi on the link below to bypass all the captcha issue (make sure you replace YOURAPIKEY with the api key you register with scraperapi.
