captionbot.js v2.0.0

captionbot.js

A tiny JavaScript wrapper for Microsoft's Captionbot API.

All image recognition is made by the Captionbot; this package only makes requesting the captions a little easier.

Installation

npm install captionbot.js

Usage

const { caption } = require("captionbot.js")
const imageURL = "https://zuwanu.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/cars-zuwanu.jpg"

// using then()
caption(imageURL)
    .then(imageCaption => console.log(`Caption: ${imageCaption}`))
    .catch(error => console.log(`Error: ${error.message}`))
    // => Caption: I think it's a car parked in a parking lot.

// using async/await
async function logCaption(imageURL) {
    try {
        const imageCaption = await caption(imageURL)
        console.log(`Caption: ${caption}`)
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(`Error: ${error.message}`)
    }
}
logCaption()
// => Caption: I think it's a car parked in a parking lot.
