Django Rest reCAPTCHA field to add google recaptcha in django-rest-framework
Tested with:
- Python: 2.7, 3.5
- Django: 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11
- Install with
pip install django-rest-recaptcha
. - Add
'recaptcha'
to yourINSTALLED_APPS
setting. - Register and obtain recaptcha keys here https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin
#. Add the obtained keys to settings(For testing and development you can leave it blank to use default test keys as mentioned here https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq). For example:
GR_CAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY = 'GoogleRecaptchaPrivateKey001'
#. Now you can import and use the recaptcha field in your serializer. For example:
from rest_framework import serializers from recaptcha.fields import ReCaptchaField class ExampleSerializer(serializers.Serializer): recaptcha = ReCaptchaField(write_only=True) ...
Django Rest reCAPTCHA uses an environment variable RECAPTCHA_TESTING
which
helps tests. This environment variable should be set to "True"
in your
testing environment and any value will be considered to be validated.
Example:
import os
os.environ['RECAPTCHA_TESTING'] = 'True'
data = {'recaptcha': 'dummy value'}
response = client.post('/my/api/endpoint/', data)
assert response.status_code == 200
The code above may vary according to your testing suite.
