Captcha recaptcha does not work anymore

It was working perfect yestarday but today the captcha does not appear anymore. I debuged the code and I realized that my joomla plugin captcharecaptcha is including this file when rendering the page as a javascript file

http://api.recaptcha.net/js/recaptcha_ajax.js

But if I hit the link directly from my browser I get 404 not found. Anyone have any similar problems with this today? Did the path of the js file changed?

you can change the endpoints

From

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://api.recaptcha.net";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER = "api-verify.recaptcha.net";

to

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_API_SECURE_SERVER = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api";
const RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER = "api-verify.recaptcha.net";

and it will work. I guess it will work with any version of joomla

To fix this you need to change file /plugins/captcha/recaptcha/recaptcha.php

line 24

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://api.recaptcha.net";

to

const RECAPTCHA_API_SERVER = "http://api.recaptcha.net/recaptcha/api";

Google has change recaptcha code path and joomla hasn't still fixed this.

I had the same problem but I changed it to 

http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/js/recaptcha_ajax.js

and now it's working again. Hope this helps!
