A bot, short for robot, is a software application that performs automated tasks over the internet. Also known as web robots or crawlers, bots are programmed to execute specific functions without direct human intervention. They can range from simple automated scripts to complex AI-driven systems capable of interacting with users. Bots are widely used for various purposes, including web indexing, customer service, social media engagement, and data collection. While some bots serve beneficial functions like improving efficiency and convenience, others may be designed for malicious activities such as spreading spam or conducting cyberattacks. Therefore, understanding and managing the capabilities of bots is essential for maintaining security and integrity in online environments.

Ways to verify our bots:

Our bots utilize and switch between various IP addresses. Therefore, identifying them solely by their IP address is not sufficient. Instead, if necessary, you should perform a Reverse DNS query for the IP address and verify if the hostname matches crawl-***-***-***-***.cutestat.com where *** refers to the numeric/hexadecimal digits of an IP, while also ensuring that the User Agent matches one from the list above.
