This is the preferred method to install Django REST framework reCAPTCHA, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don't have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Once the djangorestframework-recaptcha installed, add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    "rest_framework_recaptcha",
    ...
)

Next, register yourself and obtain your reCAPTCHA credentials at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin.

Finally, copy/paste your Google reCAPTCHA secret key to the DRF_RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY setting:

DRF_RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY = "<your_reCAPTCHA_secret_key>"

Usage

To use Django REST framework reCAPTCHA within your project you'll need to import and add the ReCaptchaField serializer field into the wanted serializer. For example:

from rest_framework import serializers
from rest_framework_recaptcha.fields import ReCaptchaField


class MySerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    recaptcha = ReCaptchaField()
