 * Hi,
 * We have a client using your plugin – however whenever we post an order via the
   API the customer details are stripped out and the message tells us to enter the
   Captcha. Given that we’re using the API to create orders we cannot see the captcha.
   The question is, how do we disable the captcha for API requests (since we’re 
   already authenticated there, we don’t need to use a Captcha to create customers).
   We want to use it for customers who pay via the webshop, but not via the API.
 * Thanks
 * John

 * If they are already authenticated there you can check “Hide Captcha for logged
   in users?”

 * Hi Shamim,
 * If who is already authenticated? We’re generating orders via the WooCommerce 
   API so there is no login / authentication for customers at all. We often create
   a new customer as part of this API Order creation, and that is where we get the
   error message.

 * You can use `anr_verify_captcha_pre` filter to bypass captcha validation for 
   your API
