How to post "secret" and "response" in Node.js?

[Jack Wang]

Hi,

I m using V2.0 of reCAPTCHA. Following is my back end code in Node.js to POST  "secret" and "response" to google service.

    var request = require('request');

    request.post({

        url: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify, 

        data: {

            secret: reCaptchaKey,

            response: req.body['g-recaptcha-response']      

        }

    }, function(error, response, body){

        console.log('body: '+body.success);

    });

But I received error code: "missing-input-secret" and "missing-input-response".

I also tried

    request.post({

        url: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify, 

        json: true,

        body: {

             secret: reCaptchaKey,

            response: req.body['g-recaptcha-response']             

        }

    }, function(error, response, body){

       // console.log(response);

        console.log('body: '+body.success+', '+body[error-codes].toString());

    });

and got the same error code.

I then tried V1.0 of reCAPTCHA which uses GET method, and it works!

So, could anyone please help how I should send  "secret" and "response" in my Node.js code for V2.0 of reCAPTCHA?

Thanks in advance

Jack

This article:

makes it look like you should be using the form post:

request({
  uri: "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify",
  method: "POST",
  form: {

    secret: reCaptchaKey,
    response: req.body['g-recaptcha-response']
  }
}, function(error, response, body) {

  console.log(body);
});

Also make sure that the value of reCaptchaKey is the private key and not the public key.
