Does Akismet only work with WordPress?

Akismet isn’t just for WordPress. It’s a spam-filtering service with an open API, so it can protect just about any site or app that accepts user content.

There are a few ways to connect:

• Use an existing integration. We build and maintain an official Drupal module, and communities have built integrations for other platforms.
• Use a client library. If you’re working in code, there are ready-made libraries for languages like Python, PHP, Ruby, and Go.
• Call the API directly. You can write your own integration against the Akismet API in any language you like.

The plugins and libraries page lists all of the integrations and libraries we know about, and the developer docs will help you get started with calling the API.
