Overview
Our API integration is the most reliable way to track AI bot interactions with your website. Unlike client-side JavaScript solutions, server-side detection ensures accurate tracking because AI bots typically don't execute JavaScript - they only fetch HTML content. By implementing detection on your server or through a proxy layer (nginx, Apache, Cloudflare Workers, etc.), you can capture 100% of AI bot traffic. This approach works with any platform and gives you complete control over the tracking implementation.
What you'd miss
Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom — none of them fire for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or Perplexity. Client scripts never run for crawlers that don't execute JS.
What you capture
Every bot hit, server-side, with the exact user-agent, URL, and timestamp — before the page even renders. No sampling, no blind spots.
