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

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