Mollom¶ ↑

This is a Ruby class for easy interfacing with the mollom.com open API for spam detection and content quality assessment.

Installation¶ ↑

You can either install the library as a gem

gem install mollom

Or you can get the latest development version from GitHub:

git clone git://github.com/DefV/ruby-mollom.git

Usage¶ ↑

After you have requested a public/private key-pair from Mollom (on www.mollom.com), you can start using this class.

require 'rubygems'
require 'mollom'

m = Mollom.new(:private_key => 'your-private-key', :public_key => 'your-public-key')

content = m.check_content(:post_title => 'Mollem is an open API',

:post_body => “Lorem Ipsum dolor…”, :author_name => ‘Jan De Poorter’, :author_url => ‘workswithruby.com’)

if content.spam?

puts “You, sir, are a spammer.. Goodbye!”

elsif content.unsure?
  # possible spam, possible ham, show CAPTCHA
  puts "CAPTCHA: " + m.image_captcha(:session_id => content.session_id)["url"]

  captcha_correct = m.check_captcha(:session_id => content.session_id, :solution => STDIN.gets.chomp)
else
  puts "The post is perfect! No spam!"
end
