馃悰 Bug Report

Actual Bug

The problem is that socli still gives me the following captcha prompt.
StackOverflow captcha check triggered. Please wait a few seconds before trying again. Try solving it manually: https://stackoverflow.com/nocaptcha?s=<some_random_number>

and

How do I make sure that socli is using my api key without any issues?
Currently, it just says api key added when you enter it and there is no way to make sure if api key entered was correct or not. If correct, then whether socli is able to use it without any issue or not.

Recommendation
socli should do a test ping right after when user adds his/her api key and should tell the user if it`s working or not.

Socli Version

6.9

Added api key to Socli using socli --api ?

Yes, I copied my api key from the red box below and pasted it to socli --api prompt.

api-key

Stack App Settings

oauth-settings

Added User Id to Socli using socli -u ?

Yes, I did.

@iamtalhaasghar API Key is only used to fetch the user data when you use the -u argument. It is not actually used to fetch the answers. Please solve the captcha so that it wont be triggered again.
