Protect your website against automated scripts using the botscout.com API.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require nicolasbeauvais/laravel-botscoutNext, you must install the service provider:
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
...
NicolasBeauvais\LaravelBotScout\BotScoutServiceProvider::class,
];Add your botscout.com api key to the .env file:
BOTSCOUT_SECRET=your-api-key If needed you can also publish the config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NicolasBeauvais\LaravelBotScout\BotScoutServiceProvider" --tag="config"If you want to make use of the facade you must install it as well:
// config/app.php
'aliases' => [
...
'BotScout' => NicolasBeauvais\LaravelBotScout\BotScoutFacade::class,
];You are highly advised to read the BotScout.com API guide to understand the meaning of each method.
You can easily use botscout in your existing validators:
// Validate name
$validator = Validator::make(['name' => 'John Doe'], [
'name' => 'required|botscout_name'
]);
// Validate email
$validator = Validator::make(['email' => '[email protected]'], [
'email' => 'required|botscout_mail'
]);
// Validate ip
$validator = Validator::make(['ip' => '127.0.0.1'], [
'ip' => 'required|botscout_ip'
]);Note that you will need to create the validation message by yourself, as described in the Laravel documentation.
You can use the BotScout facade anywhere in your app:
BotScout::multi('John Doe', '[email protected]', '127.0.0.1')->isValid();
BotScout::all('John Doe')->isValid();
BotScout::name('John Doe')->isValid();
BotScout::mail('[email protected]')->isValid();
BotScout::ip('127.0.0.1')->isValid();
// We also include a quick way of testing a user with integrated exception catch
BotScout::check('John Doe', '[email protected]', '127.0.0.1'); // true or falseThe check method is the recommended way to validate a register form:
The
checkmethod is a wrapper to themultimethod that catch any http error / timeout. If the botscout api is not responding, the method will return false.
// Create a classic validation
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
'name' => 'required|max:20',
]);
$validator->after(function ($validator) {
if (!BotScout::check($request->get('name'), $request->get('email'), $request->ip())) {
$validator->errors()->add('email', 'Sorry, it looks like your a bot!');
}
