Plugins and libraries

Akismet offers official plugins for WordPress and Drupal, an official PHP SDK, and dozens of community-built integrations across other languages and platforms. Whatever you’re building on, there’s a fast path to adding Akismet.

If you’ve created your own Akismet integration using our API and want to be included on this list, please contact us. Note that since Akismet’s heuristics are heavily influenced by missed spam and false positive reporting, so we expect your software to implement those features to be listed on this page.
