When a visitor solves the CAPTCHA and sends their solution to an
|
||||||
|
mCaptcha instance, the solution will be verified for correctness. If the
|
||||||
|
solution is correct, mCaptcha will return a single use access token.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This access token should be attached to the visitor's requited to the
|
||||||
|
protected service and the protected service should validity of the
|
||||||
|
access token with the mCaptcha instance and only allow access to
|
||||||
|
protected resource if the access token is valid.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Validate access token:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
curl --location --request POST 'https://mcaptcha.example.net/api/v1/pow/siteverify' \
|
||||||
|
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||||
|
--data-raw '{
|
||||||
|
"token": "replace this with the access token presented by visitor",
|
||||||
|
"key": "replace this with the sitekey associated with the CAPTCHA"
|
||||||
|
"secret": "replace this with mCaptcha account secret, available in settings"
|
||||||
|
}'

mCaptcha implements leaky bucket algorithm to measure
|
||||||
|
current traffic levels. Cooldown period specifies the leak or the time
|
||||||
|
after which a visitor addition is decremented.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For instance, if initial traffic level is 0 and a user visits one
|
||||||
|
second later, the traffic level will be incremented to 1. Now, if the
|
||||||
|
cooldown period is set to 30 seconds, the traffic level will be
|
||||||
|
decremented after 30 seconds. So after 30 seconds, the traffic level will
|
||||||
|
go from 1 to 0.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Easy Mode: Default cooldown
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When configuring mCaptcha in [easy
|
||||||
|
mode](./difficulty-factor#easy-option), the default cooldown period is
|
||||||
|
set to 30 seconds.

Difficulty factor determines the time it takes to solve a CAPTCHA. The
|
||||||
|
higher the difficulty factor, the longer it will take to generate a
|
||||||
|
proof of work for it to solve the CAPTCHA.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mCaptcha's proof of work based mechanism makes it highly accessible to
|
||||||
|
people with special needs but it is important to choose the difficulty factor
|
||||||
|
with care as very high difficulty factors will make the CAPTCHA
|
||||||
|
inaccessible to users on slow devices.

Site key is a unique identifier associated with CAPTCHA configurations
|
||||||
|
created on mCaptcha. It is required to integrate a CAPTCHA with your
|
||||||
|
website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How to get site key?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Go to "Site keys" on the side panel in the dashboard
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div align=center>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{{% img src="sitekey-in-dashboard-sidepanel.png" alt="Site key menu option on the dashboard, encircled in red." %}}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. click on the clipboard button to copy the site key to your
|
||||||
|
clipboard.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{{% img src="copy-sitekey.png" alt="Copy site key to clipboard. Clipboard button is highlighted in the photo" %}}

mCaptcha's variable difficulty factor mechanism requires a website's traffic
|
||||||
|
statistics be split into levels, so that it can deploy the right
|
||||||
|
difficulty factor for each level.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Visitor threshold is used to traffic into levels and mCaptcha accepts a
|
||||||
|
difficulty configuration for each of these levels. When current traffic
|
||||||
|
exceeds a difficulty factor, mCaptcha will increase the difficulty
|
||||||
|
factor to the next configured level.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For instance, consider the configuration given below:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Cool down period: 30 seconds
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Level | Difficulty Factor | Visitor Threshold |
|
||||||
|
| ----- | ----------------- | ----------------- |
|
||||||
|
| 1 | 5,000 | 2,000 |
|
||||||
|
| 2 | 50,000 | 5,000 |
|
||||||
|
| 3 | 500,000 | 10,000 |
|
||||||
|
| 4 | 5,000,000 | 15,000 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the website sees 2,000 requests in a 30 second window, level 1
|
||||||
|
difficulty factor(5,000) will be deployed. If the traffic increases to
|
||||||
|
5,000 requests in a 30 second window, then difficulty factor will be
|
||||||
|
upgraded to level 2(50,000). Likewise 10,000 and 15,000 requests over 30
|
||||||
|
seconds will result in difficulty factor being upgraded to 500,000 and
|
||||||
|
5,000,000 respectively.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Visitor threshold is how mCaptcha determines which difficulty factor
|
||||||
|
level to deploy. mCaptcha uses leaky bucket algorithm to keep the
|
||||||
|
visitor threshold constantly updated within the configured cool down
|
||||||
|
period. So, at any given moment the, the current visitor level will be
|
||||||
|
the amount of traffic that was served in the cool down period specified.
