    XCAPTCHA_API_URL=https://hcaptcha.com/1/api.js,
    XCAPTCHA_DIV_CLASS=h-captcha
)
xcaptcha = XCaptcha(app=app)

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

    {{ xcaptcha }}

    [submit button]
</form>

Verify the captcha

In the view that's going to validate the captcha

from flask import Flask
from flask_xcaptcha import XCaptcha

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.update(
    XCAPTCHA_SITE_KEY=#<your_site_key>,
    XCAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY=#<your_secret_key>
)
xcaptcha = XCaptcha(app=app)

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

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

API

XCaptcha.init(app=None, site_key=None, secret_key=None, is_enabled=True, **kwargs)

Initialises the XCaptcha using values set in the app config (if an app is supplied), and otherwise using directly passed arguments

XCaptcha.get_code()

Returns the HTML code to implement. This is primarily used for testing.

XCaptcha.verify()

Returns a bool indicating whether or not the xCaptcha was successfully completed

{{ xcaptcha }}

This will insert an HTML div element containing the captcha into a Jinja2 template
