Flask Google ReCaptcha

The Working Google ReCaptcha implementation for Flask without Flask-WTF.

Can also be used as standalone

Install

pip install Flask-GoogleReCaptcha

# or

pip install git+https://github.com/AndersonFirmino/flask-google-recaptcha.git

If you are using pipenv
pipenv install Flask-GoogleReCaptcha

This implementation is pure and has no dependencies from third parties. Works in both Python2 and Python3. You can use it in any flask project.

Has Google App Engine (GAE) support!

Usage

Implementation view.py

from flask import Flask
from flask_google_recaptcha import GoogleReCaptcha

app = Flask(__name__)
recaptcha = GoogleReCaptcha(app=app)

# or

recaptcha = GoogleReCaptcha()
recaptcha.init_app(app)

In your template: {{ recaptcha }}

Inside of the form you want to protect, include the tag: {{ recaptcha }}

It will insert the code automatically

<form method="post" action="/submit">
    ... your field
    ... your field

    {{ recaptcha }}

    [submit button]
</form>

Verify the captcha

In the view that's going to validate the captcha

from flask import Flask
from flask_google_recaptcha import GoogleReCaptcha

app = Flask(__name__)
recaptcha = GoogleReCaptcha(app=app)

@route("/submit", methods=["POST"])
def submit():

    if recaptcha.verify():
        # SUCCESS
        pass
    else:
        # FAILED
        pass

Remember to set SITE_KEY and SECRET_KEY if not it does not appear!

Api

reCaptcha.init(app, site_key, secret_key, is_enabled=True)

reCaptcha.get_code()

Returns the HTML code to implement. But you can use {{ recaptcha }} directly in your template

reCaptcha.verfiy()

Returns bool

In Template

Just include {{ recaptcha }} wherever you want to show the recaptcha
