Match verified bots—search engines, AI crawlers, feed fetchers, and others—with two new fields in eCDN custom firewall and rate limiting rules.
Where: This change applies to B2C Commerce.
How: Use the Boolean field cf.client.bot to identify any verified bot,
and use the string field cf.verified_bot_category to scope to a specific
category, for example Search Engine Crawler, AI Crawler,
AI Search, Feed Fetcher, or Aggregator. Both
fields are available in the CDN Zones API and in the Business Manager expression editor. Other
Cloudflare Bot Management fields, including bot score, still require the separate Cloudflare Bot
Management entitlement.
