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

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