Anti-Bot

What is Anti-Bot System?

Also known as: Bot Mitigation, WAF

Software that detects and blocks automated traffic.

An anti-bot system analyzes incoming traffic to detect and block automation, using signals such as IP reputation, request rate, TLS and browser fingerprints, and behavioral patterns. Well-known examples include Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, and PerimeterX. Defeating them legitimately for tasks like price monitoring relies on high-reputation residential IPs, realistic request patterns, and — for the hardest targets — curated Elite-tier exits.
