Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Ruby CAPTCHA?
A Ruby CAPTCHA is a challenge-response test integrated into a Ruby application to separate real visitors from automated scripts. Modern solutions like TrustCaptcha run automatically in the browser, solving a lightweight proof-of-work puzzle and returning a signed token that your Ruby code verifies server-side. This keeps spam, credential stuffing and scraping bots out of your forms with only a few lines of code.
What is the best Ruby CAPTCHA?
The best Ruby CAPTCHA blends strong security, privacy and developer ergonomics. TrustCaptcha stands out for European projects because it layers adaptive proof-of-work with an AI-powered bot score, offers full GDPR compliance and lets you customise everything from language to colours. Its gem installs in seconds, and fine-tuning security thresholds or design doesn’t require touching backend logic.
How does a Ruby CAPTCHA work?
In TrustCaptcha’s flow, the frontend widget silently solves a cryptographic puzzle while our servers calculate a bot-probability score from device and session signals. The widget then returns a compact token. Your Ruby code posts that token to TrustCaptcha’s verify endpoint and receives a signed JSON result indicating success, failure or elevated risk. Based on that response you accept, block or further challenge the request.
Do I need a Ruby CAPTCHA?
If your Ruby site exposes forms, search, checkout or APIs to the public internet, you almost certainly need a CAPTCHA. Automated bots can brute-force credentials, scrape content and flood databases, hurting UX and even SEO rankings. TrustCaptcha adds a frictionless barrier that absorbs most bot traffic with virtually no impact on legitimate users. For closed, internal tools you might instead rely on strict access controls.
Is TrustCaptcha GDPR-compliant?
Yes. All verification data is processed and stored exclusively in EU data centers, no cookies are set and standard Data Processing Agreements can be signed online in minutes. This lets Ruby developers meet the strictest European privacy requirements without extra paperwork. A Minimal Data Mode is also available for projects that wish to disable behavioural scoring entirely.
Will TrustCaptcha slow my Ruby app?
No. The heavy lifting happens client-side and on TrustCaptcha’s edge network, while the gem makes a single HTTPS POST that averages well below 100 ms. Independent benchmarks show pages load up to three times faster than image-based CAPTCHAs because no puzzles, images or extra scripts are downloaded.
Can I style TrustCaptcha to match my brand?
Absolutely. You can switch between light and dark themes, override every colour, hide branding, localise texts in 35+ languages and even run the widget invisibly with a subtle status hint. All options are configurable from the dashboard or via query parameters, so designers can iterate freely without redeploying your Ruby code.
