# Get an answer (2Captcha style)

> 2Captcha's res.php: fetch an answer or the balance.

`GET https://api.solvecha.com/res.php`


`action=get` returns the answer of a job from [in.php](https://solvecha.com/docs/api/twocaptcha-in.md): the text, or `click:1/4/7` for a grid (tile numbers from 1, left to right, top to bottom, or `No_matching_images`). While the job runs, the answer is `CAPCHA_NOT_READY`. Fetching a finished job again is free. `action=getbalance` returns your prepaid balance in US dollars.

## Authorization

Send your API key as `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`. Other ways are the `key` field of the body and the `key` query parameter. See [Authentication](https://solvecha.com/docs/authentication.md).

## Query parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `key` | string | Yes | Your Solvecha API key. |
| `action` | string | Yes | `get` or `getbalance`. |
| `id` | string | No | The id from in.php, for `action` `get`. |
| `json` | integer | No | `1` answers with JSON: `{"status": 1, "request": "click:1/4/7"}`. |
