How this service works
Partner tier of the dns.pizza bot observatory: every network (ASN), named crawler, TLS (JA4) fingerprint and firewall rule seen in the last 7 days, refreshed hourly. The public tier is free at https://dns.pizza/bots.
Output
A structured dataset containing all bot-related network observations from the past 7 days: ASNs (autonomous system numbers), named crawler identities, TLS JA4 fingerprints, and triggered firewall rules — sourced from the dns.pizza bot observatory partner tier and refreshed hourly.
Example use cases
Block malicious crawler ASNs
“Get me the latest bot observatory data from how.is so I can identify which ASNs are associated with aggressive crawlers and add them to our firewall blocklist.”
Audit TLS fingerprints for anomalies
“Fetch the partner-tier bot data from how.is — I need the JA4 TLS fingerprints observed in the last 7 days so I can cross-reference them against our own traffic logs for anomalous clients.”
Identify named crawlers hitting our CDN
“Pull this week's named crawler list from the how.is bot observatory so I can see which known bots like Googlebot, GPTBot, or others have been active and whether our CDN rules are handling them correctly.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://how.is/v1/bots?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need comprehensive, up-to-date bot network intelligence beyond what the free public tier offers — specifically when you require ASN-level data, JA4 TLS fingerprints, and firewall rule telemetry together in a single hourly-refreshed snapshot. Prefer this over the free dns.pizza/bots endpoint when you need partner-tier completeness for security auditing, CDN tuning, or automated threat intelligence pipelines.
Side effects
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed request body not conforming to required schema — 400 Bad Request
- Service temporarily unavailable during hourly refresh cycle — 503 or timeout
- Rate limiting if the endpoint is called excessively — 429 Too Many Requests
