strangerDisconnected
: emitted when the stranger disconnects.
connectionDied
: emitted when connection to the server is lost. Results in disconnection.
omegleError
: emitted when there's an error on Omegle's side. Results in disconnection. (Note: this is different from omerror
).Argument

: emitted when your answer to the ReCAPTCHA challenge is rejected. Argument
: challenge
- Link to the new ReCAPTCHA image.
omerror
: emitted when there's an error on client-side. For instance, calling send()
before calling connect()
.Argument

.
###List of functions
connect([topics])
: Connect to a random stranger. Argument

: msg
- Message to send.
startTyping()
: Set your status to typing
.
stopTyping()
: Set your status to stoppedTyping
.
stopLookingForCommonLikes()

, which does the same thing too.
disconnect()
: Disconnect from the chat.
solveReCAPTCHA(answer)
: Send the answer to the ReCAPTCHA challenge to Omegle. Argument
: answer
- Answer to the challenge.
connected()
: Returns a boolean value specifying whether you're currently connected to a stranger.
reloadReCAPTCHA()
: It seems like Omegle has gotten rid of recaptchaRejected

###List of variables
useragent
: Set or get the useragent.
language
: Set or get the language you speak. Default is en

###Example
var Omegle = require('node-omegle');
var om = new Omegle(); //create an instance of `Omegle`
//This will print any errors that might get thrown by functions
om.on('omerror',function(err){
console.log('error: ' + err);
});
//gotID is emitted when you're connected to Omegle
om.on('gotID',function(id){
console.log('connected to the server as: ' + id);
});
//waiting is emitted when you're waiting to connect to a stranger
om.on('waiting', function(){
console.log('waiting for a stranger.');
});
//emitted when you're connected to a stranger
om.on('connected',function(){
console.log('connected');
});
//emitted when you get a message
om.on('gotMessage',function(msg){
console.log('Stranger: ' + msg);
om.send('Hi'); //used to send a message to the stranger
});
//emitted when the stranger disconnects
om.on('strangerDisconnected',function(){
console.log('stranger disconnected.');
});
//Once you're subscribed to all the events that you wish to listen to,
//call connect() to connect to Omegle and start looking for a stranger.
om.connect();
