BotBase for Operators: A clearer path to joining Cloudflare's directory of bots and agents
Cloudflare has launched BotBase for Operators, a set of tools that allow bot operators to submit, track, and manage their bots' information within the Cloudflare ecosystem.
Why it matters
This transparency allows bot operators to maintain accurate records, helping website owners make informed decisions about which automated traffic to allow.
The details
- The tool is located under Protect & Connect → Application Security → BotBase in the dashboard. - Operators can now edit existing submissions or cancel those still waiting for review. - Automated checks now verify IP lists, reverse DNS, and Web Bot Auth signatures.
What's next
Cloudflare plans to introduce bot ownership and observability features, followed by a long-term goal of enabling direct communication between operators and website owners.
