akismet -- A Clojure library for the Akismet API

Akismet filters out your comment and track-back spam for you, so you can focus on more important things.

This library provides a Clojure interface to use Akismet as part of your blog application. If you're using Ring, a wrap-akismet middleware is provided to automagically submit requests to Akismet.

Usage

A few functions are provided:

valid-key? -- calls Verify Key
spam? -- calls Comment Check
spam! -- calls Submit Spam
ham! -- calls Submit Ham

Sample use:

(use 'akismet)

(binding [*akismet-key* "123123YourApiKey"
          *akismet-blog* "http://your.blog.here"]
  (spam? {:user_ip "127.0.0.1"
          :user_agent "foo bar"
          :referrer "http://google.com"
          :permalink "http://your.blog.here/1"
          :comment_type "comment"
          :comment_author "skuro"
          :comment_author_email "skuro@skuro.tk"
          :comment_author_url "http://skuro.tk"
          :comment_content "Free viagra!"}

TODO

Write some tests
Fix the wrap-akismet middleware to extract meaningful parameters from the request before calling Akismet
Move to an async HTTP client library to avoid busy waits on Akismet calls
