​
Fingerprinting

Anonymous voting uses multiple signals to identify unique visitors:
  • Client-provided fingerprint
  • IP address (hashed)
  • User agent
  • Request headers
IP addresses are hashed (SHA-256) and never stored in plain text.
Anonymous votes on private uploads are rejected with a 400 error ("Invalid upload ID"). Anonymous voting is only available on publicly accessible uploads.
Duplicate vote detection is checked server-side via the hashed IP address first, and independently via the clientFingerprint. A match on either one is enough to flag the request as alreadyVoted.

Rate Limiting

Anonymous votes are limited to 10 requests per minute per IP address.

​
Best Practices

Libraries like FingerprintJS provide consistent, reliable fingerprints.
Check the alreadyVoted field to inform users if they’ve already voted.
Authenticated votes are more trusted and less restricted.
