If you don’t see a suitable library for your language or framework, you may be able to use our OpenAPI specification to generate one. We recommend using OpenAPI Generator.

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, we expect your software to implement those features to be listed on this page. We might make an exception if the context for which you are programming does not provide you with a way to realistically integrate those endpoints.
