Signed agents

A signed agent is controlled by an end user and a verified signature-agent from their Web Bot Auth implementation.

You can request for your agent to be added to Cloudflare's bots and agents directory by filling out an online application ↗ in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Signed agent requirement

For an agent to be recognized, it must meet the following requirements:

  1. The agent must follow the signed agents policy.
  2. The bot must be using Web Bot Auth.

Once Cloudflare approves a signed agent, it should appear on Cloudflare Radar's bots and agents directory ↗.


Transient false negatives

Once Cloudflare lists an agent as a signed agent, this entry is cached and may get delisted if no traffic is seen in the Cloudflare network coming from the agent for a defined period of time.

An agent can remain unlisted until Cloudflare sees traffic being sourced from the agent. When the agent is revalidated, it is listed as a signed agent again.


Verification method

The bot must be verified using Web Bot Auth.
