reCAPTCHA v2 google (ok)

https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display

This page explains how to display and customize the reCAPTCHA v2 widget on your webpage.

To display the widget, you can either:

See Configurationsarrow-up-right to learn how to customize your widget. For example, you may want to specify the language or theme for the widget.

See Verifying the user's responsearrow-up-right to check if the user successfully solved the CAPTCHA.

Automatically render the reCAPTCHA widget

The easiest method for rendering the reCAPTCHA widget on your page is to include the necessary JavaScript resource and a g-recaptcha tag. The g-recaptcha tag is a DIV element with class name g-recaptcha and your site key in the data-sitekey attribute:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>reCAPTCHA demo: Simple page</title>
    <script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="?" method="POST">
      <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="your_site_key"></div>
      <br/>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

The script must be loaded using the HTTPS protocol and can be included from any point on the page without restriction.

Explicitly render the reCAPTCHA widget

Deferring the render can be achieved by specifying your onload callback function and adding parameters to the JavaScript resource.

  1. Specify your onload callback function. This function will get called when all the dependencies have loaded.

  2. Insert the JavaScript resource, setting the onload parameter to the name of your onload callback function and the render parameter to explicit.

    When your callback is executed, you can call the grecaptcha.render method from the JavaScript APIarrow-up-right.Your onload callback function must be defined before the reCAPTCHA API loads. To ensure there are no race conditions:

    • Order your scripts with the callback first, and then reCAPTCHA

    • Use the async and defer parameters in the `script` tags
