Usage

It is mostly the usual WTForms field that needs some extra data and parameters. Here’s a simple example:

from wtforms.form import Form
from wtfrecaptcha.fields import RecaptchaField


class CaptchaForm(Form):
    captcha = RecaptchaField(public_key=RECAPTCHA_PUB_KEY, private_key=RECAPTCHA_PRIV_KEY, secure=True)


form = CaptchaForm(request.POST, captcha={'ip_address': request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']})
if form.validate():
    print "Captcha response is correct"
else:
    print form.errors['captcha']

Some description of field’s parameters:

public_key:

Public key generated by reCaptcha service

private_key:

Private key generated by reCaptcha service

secure:

True if it should be served via HTTPS, False otherwise. Default: False.

When form with RecaptchaField is instantiated with bound fields, it must include captcha keyword parameter with dict that has ‘ip_address’ element.

Other details

Accessing field as a string will get the widget code with URLs that depend on secure parameter passed to the field.

HTTP errors and errors that are indepentent of user input are logged. Others are handled as validation errors.
