Built by engineers
who got tired of bad bot detection.
The web is being reshaped by automation. AI crawlers, browser agents, and LLM pipelines now account for a growing share of all HTTP traffic — and they don't play by the old rules.
"We started from first principles: accurate identification, cryptographic verification where possible, and behavioural signals for everything else. Blunt blocking is a last resort — not a strategy."
What we believe
Precision over blunt blocking
Legitimate bots — search engines, accessibility checkers, monitoring tools — should never be caught in the crossfire. We only block what we're confident about.
Transparency by default
Our bot catalog is public. Every policy decision includes a machine-readable reason code. You always know why a request was blocked.
Standards-first
We support Web Bot Auth (WICG), respect robots.txt semantics, and publish our IP verification methodology openly.

The catalog
At the core of Botscope is the world's most comprehensive bot catalog —
1,876 known bots, crawlers, and AI agents,
each with UA patterns, rDNS suffixes, recommended policy, and where available,
cryptographic verification support.
We sync daily from multiple authoritative sources and our team manually reviews additions before they ship.
