Bot Detection - Detect Bots & Block Bot Traffic
Bot Detection Management Solution For Websites, Apps, & APIs
Website Bot Detection Prevents Web Scraping & Detects Malicious Bots
Bot detection is critical to protect any website from scripted attacks and abusive behavior. Cybercriminals, fraudsters and even competitors use sophisticated bots to do their evil bidding. Malicious bots can carry out specific actions such as scraping content, creating fake users & duplicate accounts, engaging in user generated content SPAM, creating fraudulent transactions, or account takeover attacks (ATO). Bots and automated scripting attacks are even responsible for billions of dollars per year in advertisement & click fraud. Bot Detection sounds complicated, but IPQS has made mitigating bad bots just another challenge easily solved by our fraud prevention solution.
Filtering bad actions from your site in real-time without penalizing your legitimate users can be a difficult task. Captchas are frustrating for even the most internet savvy humans and can easily frustrate valid users. However, proactively filtering bots doesn't need to be difficult. IPQualityScore detects bots and non-human traffic from botnets & malware, automated attack scripts, fake click programs, compromised devices, invalid browsers, and other poor quality traffic sources. Let us show you how simple bot detection techniques can be. Deploy our bot prevention tools to any website or app in just a few minutes to block bot traffic in real-time and instantly improve the quality of your traffic, users, and transactions.

How Does Bot Detection Work?
IPQS scores hundreds of millions of transactions and user events per day. We leverage this cyber threat network to identify devices that have recently engaged in malicious behavior and detect devices that exhibit patterns of known fraud. Our machine learning bot detection algorithms feature over 10 years of technology in bot protection solutions. A mix of device fingerprinting, browser verification, forensic analysis, behavior monitoring, artificial intelligence & ML, and IP reputation is performed on the user to determine if they fit the profile of a fraudulent user or non-human bot. IPQS detection methods are always evolving to mitigate any threats from new bots and emerging fraud rings. Completely stop bots using our suite of bot detection tools.
Additionally, create custom rules for blocking bots to be more aggressive or more lenient for specific tests that our anti-fraud tools perform. Adaptive filters learn from your audience and user base to avoid flagging legitimate traffic and easily identifying irregular behavior generated by advanced bots. When a bot is detected, your site or app has the flexibility to perform any custom behavior, such as blocking the user or transaction, setting its status for further review, or automatically limiting the user all in real-time. Our flexible APIs provide over 20 data points to define a risk profile, so your platform can make the best decisions.

Bot Detection FAQ
Bot Detection is the process of identifying non-human devices and IP addresses that are controlled by automation, such as automated bot attacks or web scraping. This process can be achieved through pattern recognition, device integrity checks, and behavior analysis. Detecting bots is complex as fraudsters use residential proxies and private VPN servers to blend bot traffic with real human traffic.
Prevent unwanted bots by analyzing device behavior and IP address reputation on important pages like sign up, checkout, or login. Detecting if the device has characteristics of emulators or fake devices are accurate bot detection techniques. Identifying issues like location spoofing, virtual devices, and botnet IP addresses can also be helpful.
Detecting bots is easy when looking at the device behavior to analyze if non-human or automated actions are being performed. Our intelligent bot manager uses the best device and IP address intelligence data to accurately prevent bots. The IP address can also provide valuable insight by determining if the IP is associated with known bot networks or recent abusive bot behavior.
Bot IP addresses can be detected by analyzing if abuse has been recently reported or if any non-human bot characteristics of the device are detected. Bot detection is aided by IP address reputation, which look for suspicious behavior. Bot IPs are usually very abusive and are shared by different groups of bad actors at the same time.
Advanced bots can scrape content and sensitive data from webpages in order to obtain proprietary data or bypass premium licenses. Prevent bot scraping with a mixture of proxy and VPN detection & device analysis to detect more sophisticated web scraping bots. Patterns of bot scraping include very short page loading periods, limited mouse movement, and excessive page hits within a short period of time. All are factors that go against how a normal human would browse a website.
Blocking bots is necessary to prevent fake accounts, chargebacks, account takeover, and similar abusive behavior from bad actors. Fraudsters typically automate bots attacks against a website, app, or API. Bot detection can help mitigate fraud and abuse from bad users to truly identify bad bots.
