How to detect CLB Insight
CLB Insight signs its requests, so you detect it by verifying the cryptographic signature on each request. A valid signature proves the request came from COLAB; a copied user agent without the signature does not.

Questions about CLB Insight
How do you detect CLB Insight?
CLB Insight signs its requests, so you detect it by verifying the cryptographic signature on each request. A valid signature proves the request came from COLAB; a copied user agent without the signature does not.
What is CLB Insight?
CLB Insight is a crawler run by COLAB that signs its requests.
Does CLB Insight identify itself?
Yes. CLB Insight signs its requests cryptographically, which is the strongest way an agent can identify itself.
Can a bot pretend to be CLB Insight?
Not convincingly. A bot can copy CLB Insight's user agent, but without COLAB signing keys its requests fail verification and it is not labeled CLB Insight.
How common is CLB Insight?
Very uncommon. Rare, brand new, or not seen on Verisoul traffic yet.
What does the Verisoul API return for CLB Insight?
Every session Verisoul identifies as CLB Insight carries an agent block with id "clb_insight", name, provider, type "crawler", detection_method "signed" and the detection_signals used (cryptographic, behavioral). Build rules on the id, type and detection method.
