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

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