Bot Classification template

The Intelligent bot classification transformation template allows you to classify bot traffic based on intent. This template poses two distinct questions regarding each event it assesses - the source of the event and whether the event exhibits signs of abuse. To utilize this template, you must provide an API key to TypeSafe AI, a third-party service. Before activating this feature, it is essential to review the data transfer process and the limitations outlined below.

Performing a single "is it a bot?" check often results in two common errors: distinguishing between the category and intent helps avoid the first error while preserving the second. The endpoint is a fixed value at the beginning of the template. Should you wish to replace the TypeSafe AI service with another provider, you need to modifyTYPESAFE_API_URL to point to any service that can accept the identical request format and provide the same response format, including self-hosted options like Laya or Kev.

Prior to switching services, ensure you thoroughly examine the request and response contract to confirm compatibility.
