OpenBotAuth Cloud
Managed infrastructure for AI crawler verification, policy enforcement, and pay-per-crawl programs. Built on the open protocol, with no vendor lock-in.
What OpenBotAuth Cloud provides
Everything you need to verify, meter, and monetize AI crawler traffic—without managing infrastructure.
Managed Identity Registry
A global registry of verified crawler identities. Crawlers register their cryptographic keys and metadata. Publishers query the registry to validate signatures.
- JWKS hosting and key management
- Crawler organization profiles
- Key rotation and revocation
Verifier Endpoints
API endpoints that validate HTTP Message Signatures against the registry. Use our hosted verifier or deploy the SDK to your own infrastructure.
- Sub-millisecond verification
- Edge-deployed for low latency
- Offline verification SDK
Policy Rules Engine
Define access policies per crawler, organization, or tier. Allow, deny, rate limit, or route to different content based on identity.
- Declarative policy language
- Per-crawler rate limits
- Access tier management
Analytics Dashboard
Real-time visibility into who's crawling your site, how often, and what they're accessing. Export logs for your own analysis.
- Crawler traffic breakdown
- Request volume trends
- Data export (CSV, JSON)
Pay-per-crawl program tooling
Monetize AI crawler traffic with automated metering and settlement.
Program Creation
Define pricing tiers, access levels, and terms for crawlers to join.
Usage Metering
Automatic request tracking with detailed logs for reconciliation.
Settlement Reports
Generate invoices and export data for billing integration.
Built on open standards
Open Source Protocol
The OpenBotAuth protocol specification and reference implementation are open source under Apache 2.0. You can self-host everything.
