GoogleReCaptcha
===============

[](#googlerecaptcha)

[ReCAPTCHA](https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/) is a free CAPTCHA service that protect websites from spam and abuse. This library aims to providate an alternative to the [official ReCAPTCHA library](https://github.com/google/ReCAPTCHA) for verifying a users "No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA" response. Internally it uses [Guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle) for communicating with the ReCAPTCHA API.

A sample validation client could look like the following:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use Nietonfir\Google\ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha;
use Nietonfir\Google\ReCaptcha\Api\RequestData,
    Nietonfir\Google\ReCaptcha\Api\ResponseFactory;

$requestData = new RequestData(
    'YOUR_API_SECRET_HERE',         // secret
    $_POST['g-recaptcha-response'], // user response
    $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']         // end user IP
);

$reCaptcha = new ReCaptcha(new Client(), new ResponseFactory());
$response = $reCaptcha->processRequest($requestData);

if ($response->isValid()) {
    // check the hostname if "Domain Name Validation" is turned off
    // if($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] === $response->getHostName()) { … }
    echo 'I\'m not a robot';
} else {
    var_dump($response->getErrors());
}
```
