This guide shows how to replace hCaptcha with Roundtable Proof-of-Human on form submissions. Unlike hCaptcha, which issues challenges at submission time, Roundtable runs invisibly in the background.

​
Front-end changes

Replace your hCaptcha script with the Roundtable Proof-of-Human tracker and update your form submission to send the session ID instead of a token. You can copy the exact script tag with your site key from the Dashboard.

​
Before (hCaptcha)

<script src="https://hcaptcha.com/1/api.js" async defer></script>

<script>
  document.getElementById('dummy-form').addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    
    hcaptcha.execute('YOUR_SITE_KEY', {async: true}).then(function(response) {
      const formData = new FormData(e.target);
      formData.append('h-captcha-response', response.response);
      
      fetch('/submit-form', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: formData
      });
    });
  });
</script>

​
After (Roundtable Proof-of-Human)

<script 
  src="https://cdn.roundtable.ai/v1/rt.js" 
  data-site-key="YOUR_SITE_KEY">
</script>

<script>
  document.getElementById('dummy-form').addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    
    const sessionId = window.getRoundtableSessionId();
    const formData = new FormData(e.target);
    formData.append('roundtable_session_id', sessionId);
    
    fetch('/submit-form', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: formData
    });
  });
</script>

​
Back-end changes

Replace your hCaptcha verification with a call to the Roundtable Proof-of-Human API. We recommend starting by blocking submissions with a risk score of 70 or higher. You’ll need your secret key from the Dashboard for API authentication.

​
Before (hCaptcha)

import requests

def verify_hcaptcha(token, user_ip):
    response = requests.post('https://hcaptcha.com/siteverify', data={
        'secret': 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY',
        'response': token,
        'remoteip': user_ip
    })
    
    result = response.json()
    return result['success']  # Simple pass/fail

# In your form handler
hcaptcha_response = request.form.get('h-captcha-response')
if verify_hcaptcha(hcaptcha_response, request.remote_addr):
    # Process form
else:
    return "Blocked", 403

​
After (Roundtable Proof-of-Human)

import requests

def verify_roundtable(session_id):
    response = requests.get(
        f'https://api.roundtable.ai/v1/sessions/{session_id}/report',
        headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY'}
    )
    
    if response.status_code == 200:
        result = response.json()
        return result['risk_score'] < 70  # Block scores >= 70
    return False

# In your form handler
session_id = request.form.get('roundtable_session_id')
if verify_roundtable(session_id):
    # Process form
else:
    return "Blocked", 403

​
What changes after migration

After migrating from hCaptcha, you’ll eliminate user friction entirely - no more challenges, puzzles, or failed attempts by legitimate users. And instead of hCaptcha’s binary pass/fail decision, you’ll get a risk score from 0-100 that you can tune to your specific needs. You can also access detailed biometric and device flags to understand exactly why a session was flagged, giving you much more control over your blocking decisions than hCaptcha’s simple verification.
