akismet

Akismet for node.js. Licensed under the MIT License.

Installation:

npm install akismet

Usage:

You need to sign up for an Akismet API key to use the API. Once you sign up, it would be a good idea to verify your key. See http://www.akismet.com/development/api/#verify-key

var util = require('util'),
    akismet = require('akismet').client({ blog: 'http://my.blog.com', apiKey: 'myakismetapikey123' });

akismet.verifyKey(function(verified, status, headers) {
  if (verified) 
    util.log('API key successfully verified.');
  else 
    util.log('Unable to verify API key.');
});
  

You can now use Akismet to moderate the comments. See http://www.akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check

akismet.checkSpam({ 
    user_ip: userip, 
    permalink: 'http://www.my.blog.com/my-post',
    comment_author: 'spammer',
    comment_content: 'spamming your comments'
  }, function(spam, status, headers) {
    if(spam)
      util.log('Spam caught.');
    else
      util.log('Not spam');
});

You can also send feedback to Akismet with submitSpam and submitHam. Their usage is the same as checkSpam. See http://www.akismet.com/development/api/#submit-spam and http://www.akismet.com/development/api/#submit-ham
