Bot Detection - Plugin

Looking for the plugin's configuration parameters? You can find them in the Bot Detection configuration reference doc.

Use the Bot Detection plugin to protect a service or a route from the most common bots, and set up allow and deny lists for custom clients.

Default rules

The plugin already includes a basic list of rules that will be checked on every request. You can find this list on GitHub at https://github.com/Kong/kong/blob/master/kong/plugins/bot-detection/rules.lua.
