Python module for reCAPTCHA service.

Project description

reCAPTCHA is a free CAPTCHA service that protects your site against spam, malicious registrations and other forms of attacks where computers try to disguise themselves as a human.

python-reCAPTCHA is a Python 3.x module, that provides an easy way to interact with the reCAPTCHA API.

Installation

$ pip install python-reCAPTCHA

or

$ git clone https://github.com/rbika/python-reCAPTCHA.git
$ cd python-reCAPTCHA
$ python setup.py install
$ cd .. && rm -rf python-reCAPTCHA

Usage

To use reCAPTCHA, you need to sign up for API keys for your site.

Once you’ve signed up for API keys, adding reCAPTCHA to your site consists of two steps.

1. Displaying the reCAPTCHA Widget

Generate the widget HTML by calling the generate_html function.

>>> from recaptcha.captcha import generate_html
>>>
>>> public_key = "your_public_key"
>>> recaptcha_html = generate_html(public_key)
>>>
>>> print(recaptcha_html)
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/challenge?k=your_public_key"></script><noscript><iframe src="http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/api/noscript?k=your_public_key"height="300" width="500" frameborder="0"></iframe><br><textarea name="recaptcha_challenge_field"rows="3" cols="40"></textarea><input type="hidden" name="recaptcha_response_field"value="manual_challenge"></noscript>

Place the generated HTML inside your form. If you are working with Django por example, your form will looks like this:

<form action="">
    {% autoscape on %}recaptcha_html{% endautoescape %}
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

2. Verifying user’s anwser

After the user submit the anwser, you should get the required paramenters and call the verify function. Again, a Django’s example.

>>> from recaptcha.captcha import verify
>>>
>>> private_key = "your_private_key"
>>> remote_ip = request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']
>>> challenge = request.POST.get('recaptcha_challenge_field', '')
>>> response = request.POST.get('recaptcha_response_field', '')
>>>
>>> result = verify(private_key, remote_ip, challenge, response)
>>>
>>> print(result)
{'success': False, 'error': 'incorrect-captcha-sol'}
