Backend Usage with express.js

In node we must use the secret key.

Recaptcha([options])

Options object have 2 keys:

  • secret: the secret key of the recaptcha.
  • verbose: if set to true, it show relevant information on each validation.Default: false.

.checkResponse(userResponse, callback)

  • userResponse: is the key provided in each validation by the reCAPTCHA widget, see more info in the documentation.
  • callback: have an error and a response params.

Callback returns an error when something is wrong. The response object is described in the documentation.

var Recaptcha = require('recaptcha-verify');
var recaptcha = new Recaptcha({
    secret: 'SECRET_KEY',
    verbose: true
});
app.get('/check', function(req, res){
    // get the user response (from reCAPTCHA)
    var userResponse = req.query['g-recaptcha-response'];
 
    recaptcha.checkResponse(userResponse, function(error, response){
        if(error){
            // an internal error?
            res.status(400).render('400', {
                message: error.toString()
            });
            return;
        }
        if(response.success){
            res.status(200).send('the user is a HUMAN :)');
            // save session.. create user.. save form data.. render page, return json.. etc.
        }else{
            res.status(200).send('the user is a ROBOT :(');
