Bot Detector API GET

https://api.apiverve.com/v1/botdetector

Bot Detector analyzes user agent strings to identify bots, crawlers, and automated software. It matches against a database of known bots and adds heuristics that catch automated clients not in the database, returning the bot's category, reputation and a composite risk score. Useful for security, analytics, and access control.
