Introducing the Official Akismet Drupal Module

For two decades, Akismet has done one thing exceptionally well: keep spam out of WordPress. Now we’re bringing that protection to Drupal. The official module is here, built by the team behind Akismet as a native Drupal module. It guards your site with the same spam-fighting service that keeps comments, contact forms, and signups clean across millions of sites.
#### Protection where spammers actually go
Spam doesn’t stop at comments, so neither does the module. Once it’s set up, Akismet checks the forms spammers target most:
* Comments
* Contact forms
* Webform submissions
* User registrations
It runs every submission through Akismet in the background and quietly filters the spam out, so you see less of it and your visitors never notice it’s there.
#### Built for Drupal, the Drupal way
We wanted this to feel like a first-class part of your site, not a bolt-on. The module follows modern Drupal conventions, and plays nicely with other anti-spam tools like Honeypot and CAPTCHA if you already use them. It also adds invisible bot-detection signals that catch automated junk before it ever reaches the API.
For the spam worth a second look, there’s a dedicated review queue and one-click actions on every comment. Each correction goes back to Akismet, so the filter keeps getting smarter about your site. An admin dashboard shows your stats at a glance, and built-in GDPR export and erasure tools make honoring data requests straightforward.
#### Getting started
You’ll need an Akismet API key. Grab one at [akismet.com](https://akismet.com), then install the module with Composer:
```
composer require drupal/akismet_antispam
```
Enable it, add your key on the settings page, pick which forms to protect, and you’re done. The module needs Drupal 10.3+ and PHP 8.1+, and it’s released under the GPL. You’ll find the docs and issue queue on the [Drupal.org project page](https://www.drupal.org/project/akismet_antispam).
We’re excited to bring Akismet to the Drupal community. Give it a try and tell us what you think., Introducing the Official Akismet Drupal Module, akismet.com, 01kt1r2t0mahbrbf4f9kdakw34.
