Protected mutations
If CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA is enabled on pages requiring shopper input, then in most cases, the corresponding mutations that send requests to the application server must include an HTTP header that contains a value entered by the shopper (for CAPTCHA) or generated by the Google API (for reCAPTCHA). These headers are generated by UI Web form widgets during interactions with the shopper. However, if you specify an integration authorization token in the header of the mutation, then you do not supply a header specific to CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA.
Even when Adobe Commerce is used in a headless way, like with PWA, the merchant must have their own Web UI that renders the correct Captcha or reCAPTCHA web form widget, captures the proper X-Captcha or X-ReCaptcha HTTP header, and sends it in the API request in the background only.
The HTTP X-Captcha and X-ReCaptcha headers:
- Cannot be received by an automated script or a non-UI API call. They are captured and returned by the UI Web form only.
- Are optional in protected mutation API calls that provide integration authorization tokens only. They cannot be skipped when you provide an Admin or Bearer token.
CAPTCHA
The following table lists the forms that can be configured to require CAPTCHA. Go to Stores > Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration > CAPTCHA > Forms to enable or disable CAPTCHA on these forms.
The mutation that corresponds to a CAPTCHA-enabled form must include the HTTP X-Captcha header, along with the text the shopper entered in response to the CAPTCHA challenge.
