Topic on Extension talk:ConfirmEdit

It's not clear to me how an API client should interact with this anti-spam component.

For example, when editing, this exception can be raised:

{"edit":{"captcha":{"type":"image","mime":"image\/png","id":"123","url":"\/w\/index.php?title=Special:Captcha\/image&wpCaptchaId=123"},"result":"Failure"}}

What to do next?

If I understand it, I would like to improve the documentation. Thanks folks

I've made some frontend tests and it seems to me that you have to submit wpCaptchaWord with the value of the captcha and wpCaptchaId with the ID of the captcha, but I'm still unsure if it's just OK to do the same via the standard edit API.
