Bot Detection

What is Bot Detection?

Bot detection is the process of identifying and blocking automated software programs that attempt to interact with websites or APIs in malicious ways. These tools distinguish between legitimate human users, helpful bots like search engine crawlers, and harmful bots used for scraping or fraud.

Why It Matters

• It prevents automated attacks such as credential stuffing, inventory hoarding, and price scraping.

• Blocking malicious bots reduces unnecessary server load and preserves bandwidth for real customers.

• It protects the integrity of marketing data and analytics by filtering out non-human traffic.
