Bot Detection
Honeypot will automatically flag accounts that we think our bots.
| Tag | ID | Occurs when |
|---|---|---|
Bot | unverified_bot | A user exhibit botlike client signatures (Selenium, Puppetteer, etc). |
Verified Bot | verified_bot | Reputable services that follow robots.txt guidelines and provide value to the broader Internet. |
However, for sophisticated bot populations, the most valuable signals cannot be simply derived from client signatures. In fact, our experience with extremely large bot populations is that behavioral signals are the most valuable signals for detecting bots.
Given the diverse nature of bots, we recommend chatting with our team to build out the best signals for your specific platform.
