EU captcha protects your website/API against abuse like form spam and credential stuffing

Project description

myra-eucaptcha

EU captcha protects your website/API against abuse like form spam and credential stuffing. This package provides server-side verification client for Myra EU Captcha.

Installation

Installation is performed via the regular PyPi-Repos with pip install myra-eucaptcha or uv add myra-eucaptcha, if you're using the uv package manager.

Integration

Frontend

There are only two snippets which need to be included in your page to enable captcha-validation. This is used to render the captcha and must be placed inside the form you want to protect.

<div class="eu-captcha" data-sitekey="YOUR_MYRA_EUCAPTCHA_SITEKEY"></div>

This includes the javascript-part of the captcha, which handles the actual captcha and transmits captcha data to Myra EU Captcha, updates the displayed Captcha HTML Snippets and adds data to your form.

<script src="https://cdn.eu-captcha.eu/verify.js" async defer></script>

Here is a functional, minimalistic example what your page could look like.

    <html>
        <head>
            <title>captcha integration sample</title>
        </head>
        <body>
    
        <form action="/login" method="post">
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>user</td>
                    <td>
                        <input type=text name="username" />
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>pass</td>
                    <td>
                        <input type=password name="password" />
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2">
                        <div class="eu-captcha" data-sitekey="YOUR_MYRA_EUCAPTCHA_SITEKEY"></div>
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr><td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submit" /></td></tr>
            </table>
        </form>
        
        <script src="https://cdn.eu-captcha.eu/verify.js" async defer></script>
        </body>
    </html>

FastAPI Backend Example

This is the respective backend counterpart for the example-form from above. The library provides async and sync interfaces via .avalidate() and .validate() respectively.

from myra_eucaptcha import MyraEuCaptchaClient, MyraEuCaptchaClientConfig

@app.post("/login", response_class=HTMLResponse)
async def login(
    request:Request,
    username: str = Form(...),
    password: str = Form(...),
    eu_captcha_response: str = Form(..., alias="eu-captcha-response"),
):

    # configure the captcha settings and behaviour
    captcha_config = MyraEuCaptchaClientConfig(
        sitekey="YOUR_MYRA_EUCAPTCHA_SITEKEY",
        secret="YOUR_MYRA_EUCAPTCHA_SECRET",
    )

    client = MyraEuCaptchaClient(config=captcha_config)

    # this is depending on your webserver-setup and whether we're behind
    # a reverse-proxy (nginx, apache, traefik, or something similar.)
    remote_addr = request.headers.get('x-real-ip','')
    validationresult = await client.avalidate(
                token=eu_captcha_response,
                remote_addr=remote_addr)

    if validationresult.success:
        # yay - all good.
        # <your-code-here>
        pass
    else:
        # validation failed, check validationresult.errors
        # <your-code-here>
        pass

Design Decisions

The default mode of operation for EU Captcha is permissive and fault-tolerant. This means, that - should any error occur on the backend side during the communication of your server and Myra EU Captcha (timeouts, api-errors, network-errors or similar), the validation result will be True and no exceptions will be thrown. The exceptions will however be available in the MyraEuCaptchaResult.errors you receive.

This behaviour can be configured, by adapting MyraEuCaptchaClientConfig:

    captcha_config = MyraEuCaptchaClientConfig(
        sitekey="YOUR_MYRA_EUCAPTCHA_SITEKEY",
        secret="YOUR_MYRA_EUCAPTCHA_SECRET",
        connect_timeout: int = 3
        read_timeout: int = 10
        write_timeout: int = 10
        pool_timeout: int = 3
        default_result_on_error:bool = True ## this is the validation result, that is returned on exceptions
        suppress_exceptions:bool = True     ## if you want exceptions to be raised, set this to False
    )
