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

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