Question about steps after getting token

[rschlack]

When the handleVerify function is called it receives a token string.

I'm using this for a signup page. Should I then be sending this token down to the server where I create the new account and validate that the token is authentic using my v3 secret key? If so, does this module support that functionality?

thanks,

I was having the same problem, because I was expecting a similar behavior as the V2. Here you will need:

• Get the token using the library (this is the only function of this library);
• Send the token to your backend (to hide your secret);
• On your backend you can verify this user interaction using the token (check these docs);

• Then you will have the score for the user;
• You can do anything with this score, but it's up to you to define what to do. V3 will only tell you if the user is likely to be a human (score near 1) or a robot (score near 0);

Thanks. I was able to make it work with exactly the procedure you mentioned.

yup got confused as well until now. the google docs are not super clear here yet. you get an additional "score" value on the backend after verifying the token from the client.
