I'd like to check a response from client generated using react-google-recaptcha
in my Signup form.
Unfortunately, I don't see how to validate it server side with Python.
I tried recaptcha-client
: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/recaptcha-client, but it seems that it's expecting a response from a generated iframe directly with the same library.
It was actually quite straightforward, and no library is required to perform this verification, following Google's documentation : https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/verify
I just had to encode my parameters in the address and send a request to Google servers, here's my code, note that I'm using Flask, but the principle remains the same for any Python back-end :
import urllib
import json
URIReCaptcha = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify'
recaptchaResponse = body.get('recaptchaResponse', None)
private_recaptcha = '6LdXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
remote_ip = request.remote_addr
params = urllib.urlencode({
'secret': private_recaptcha,
'response': recaptchaResponse,
'remote_ip': remote_ip,
})
# print params
data = urllib.urlopen(URIReCaptcha, params).read()
result = json.loads(data)
success = result.get('success', None)
if success == True:
print 'reCaptcha passed'
else:
print 'recaptcha failed'
