Webhooks & session monitoringBuilt-in — real-time bot.detected / human.verified events and post-login anomaly detection.Not available — verify-on-load only.

Frequently asked
Do I need a Cloudflare account to use useHUMA?
No. useHUMA is infrastructure-independent. It works on Vercel, AWS, your own servers — any hosting — with a single API call, unlike Turnstile which is tied to Cloudflare.
What does useHUMA offer that Turnstile doesn't?
Real-time webhooks (bot.detected / human.verified), built-in post-login session monitoring with anomaly detection, native mobile touch signals, and a first-class npm/React SDK.
Is useHUMA also invisible like Turnstile?
Yes — verification is invisible for legitimate users. A graceful step-up challenge only appears for genuinely borderline cases.
