recaptcha-validator

A simple library that makes API requests to Google's Recaptcha service to confirm Recaptcha tokens.

https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/intro

Supports Recaptcha v2 / Invisible.

const recaptcha = require('recaptcha-validator')

recaptcha(sitesecret, gRecaptchaResponse, clientIpAddress)
  .then(reply => console.log(reply))
  .catch(err => console.error('recaptcha confirmation failed:', err))

Usage

Check out the example/ folder for a complete but minimal example.

recaptcha() returns a promise that resolves with google's reply if the request was successful.

It fails with typeof err === 'string' if the recaptcha api reports a problem with the request.

• missing-input-secret: The secret parameter is missing.
• invalid-input-secret: The secret parameter is invalid or malformed.
• missing-input-response: The response parameter is missing.
• invalid-input-response: The response parameter is invalid or malformed.
• bad-request: The request is invalid or malformed.
• unspecified-error

Else the error will be an Error object representing network error.

Here's an example response upon success:

{ success: true,
  challenge_ts: '2017-11-09T23:12:08Z',
  hostname: 'localhost' }

hostname only appears on successful requests and you can use it to ensure recaptcha submissions are originating from your domain.
