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

What is FarmetricaBot?
FarmetricaBot is a crawler run by Farmetrica that signs its requests.
Does FarmetricaBot identify itself?
Yes. FarmetricaBot signs its requests cryptographically, which is the strongest way an agent can identify itself.

What does the Verisoul API return for FarmetricaBot?
Every session Verisoul identifies as FarmetricaBot carries an agent block with id "farmetricabot", name, provider, type "crawler", detection_method "signed" and the detection_signals used (cryptographic, behavioral). Build rules on the id, type and detection method.
