Quarkus CAPTCHA Integration
Wire TrustCaptcha into a Quarkus JAX-RS resource in just a few lines of Java. Stop bot-driven spam on logins, signups and contact forms — with native-image friendly code, MicroProfile config and Hibernate Validator. EU-hosted, GDPR-ready, no image puzzles.
Quickstart
How the integration works
1. Create a CAPTCHA
Create a user account or log in with an existing one. Then create a new CAPTCHA or select an existing one. If you’re unsure whether TrustCaptcha is right for you, try our CAPTCHA service risk-free for 14 days at no cost.
On the CAPTCHA overview page, you will find all the important information, such as the site key and licence key, and you can also create your API key. Allow your websites to access your CAPTCHA by simply adding them to the access authorised domain list in the CAPTCHA security rules.


2. Add the CAPTCHA widget to your form
Drop the TrustCaptcha widget into the HTML form your Quarkus resource serves. The widget runs the CAPTCHA in the background and adds a hidden tc-verification-token field on submit, which Quarkus then exposes to your @POST method via @FormParam.
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.trustcomponent.com/trustcaptcha/3.0.x/trustcaptcha.esm.min.js"></script>
<form method="post" action="/contact">
<input type="email" name="email" required>
<trustcaptcha-component sitekey="<your_site_key>"></trustcaptcha-component>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>The CAPTCHA widget will then be displayed inside your form:

3. Validate the token in your Quarkus resource
In your Quarkus resource, take the verification token from the form, look up the result via our Java library, and decide whether to accept the request.
First, install our TrustCaptcha Java library:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.trustcomponent</groupId>
<artifactId>trustcaptcha</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>Then validate the token inside your JAX-RS resource and act on the result:
@Path("/contact")
public class ContactResource {
@POST
public Response submit(@FormParam("tc-verification-token") String token) {
VerificationResult result;
try {
result = TrustCaptcha.getVerificationResult("<your_api_key>", token);
} catch (CaptchaFailureException e) {
return Response.status(400).entity("CAPTCHA verification failed.").build();
}
if (!result.isVerificationPassed() || result.getScore() > 0.5) {
return Response.status(400).entity("CAPTCHA verification failed.").build();
}
// CAPTCHA passed — process the request
return Response.ok("Thanks!").build();
}

Other backend framework instead of Quarkus?
If you use a different framework, pick the matching recipe here. If your framework isn’t listed, your software developers can integrate the verification themselves using our documentation or ask our support team for a pre-built integration.

You are now protected by TrustCaptcha - congratulations!
