Radar – Redesigned Bots Directory on Cloudflare Radar, now powered by BotBase

1 minutePosted inCloudflare

The Cloudflare Radar Bots Directory ↗︎ now uses BotBase, Cloudflare’s catalog of the bots and agents it tracks, and has a new design matching the Radar homepage.

Each bot page has a new Identity section showing the bot’s access level, content use, Web Bot Auth verification, and user agents. Bot operators are also searchable from the Radar site search.

The List bots and Get bot details endpoints now describe each bot with:

  • categories: a bot can now have more than one category. Categories follow BotBase’s groups, which add COMMERCE, and some older categories are now part of broader groups.
  • accessLevel: DIRECT if the bot reaches websites under its own identity, or INTERMEDIARY if it acts on behalf of another agent or a person.
  • contentUse: full if the content it fetches is kept and reused (for example, for model training or a search index), reference if it is cited or linked back to the source, or immediate if it is used once to answer a user’s request.
  • documentationUrl and operatorWebsiteUrl (bot details only).

category and operatorUrl are deprecated in favor of categories and documentationUrl.
