Right now, AI bots
are copying your store.

We only read the public robots.txt and homepage, never your content.
What do you want StopBotAPI to do?
Pick what matters most to you. The first three come with every plan.
Stop AI copying my store
Turn away the bots that copy your products, prices and photos to train AI models.
How blocking worksGet recommended by AI search
Keep ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity welcome, so they can point buyers to you.
How AI finds youSee which bots visit me
Agent Radar names every AI bot that comes by, live, on your computer or phone.
See Agent RadarProtect my clients' sites
One account for every site you look after, with each site's numbers kept separate.
The agency planBlock the AI that copies you.
Keep the AI that buys.
Not every bot is the enemy. Training scrapers copy your work and give nothing back. AI shopping assistants send real customers to your door. StopBotAPI tells them apart, and treats them differently.
The content thieves
Bots that scrape your catalog to train AI models or rebuild your store somewhere else. They burn your bandwidth and your edge, and send nothing back.
The real buyers
Shopping assistants and AI search engines that bring you customers ready to spend. Blocking these leaves money on the table, so StopBotAPI lets them walk right in.
What's yours stays yours
Every scraper the wasp turns away is a product photo, a price, a description you paid to create, that an AI can't copy, resell, or train on.
Junk traffic stops costing you
Scrapers and spam bots fake clicks that drain your ad budget and muddy your analytics. Turn them away and your numbers finally mean something.
The buyers still get through
Shopping-assistant AIs are starting to send real paying customers. The wasp blocks the thieves and waves the shoppers through.
Don't just block AI. Sell to it.
People are starting to shop through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude — and those agents show up at your store. StopBotAPI already tells the shoppers from the scrapers: it turns the thieves away, and hands the shoppers a clean, agent-ready answer so they can actually recommend and buy. Cloudflare blocks them. You cash them in.
“A waterproof hiking jacket, men's medium, under $150, in stock and shipping today?”
Summit Shell 2.0 — $139, waterproof, men's M in stock, ships today. Two more matches in your catalog.
See every AI bot by name
Agent Radar shows which AI bots visited, who sent them, and what the wasp did about it. Live, on every plan, and in the StopBotAPI app.
Paste this once and drop in the key we email you. From that moment every page checks each visitor on its own: scrapers get turned away, real shoppers and the AIs that bring them pass straight through.

Watch who it caught
Agent Radar lights up with every AI bot that tried, by name, in real time. You decide who stays blocked.
Your customers never see it. The bots never get past it.
No puzzles. No “click every traffic light.” Real people sail straight through, bots get stopped cold.
- ✕Makes every real customer stop and solve a puzzle
- ✕30+ seconds of friction before they can buy
- ✕Frustrates genuine shoppers into leaving
- ✕Does nothing to stop AI scrapers or headless bots
- Nothing to click, nothing to solve: completely invisible
- Verified in the background before they finish typing
- Real buyers are never interrupted or sent away
- Catches headless browsers, automation tools and fake clicks a puzzle can't
The muscle behind the one line
A CAPTCHA asks one question and hopes. The wasp runs three layers of defense on every visitor, quietly, in the time it takes a page to load.
It reads how you actually move
Real people move like people: the mouse drifts, clicks land a beat apart, typing has its own rhythm. Bots move in straight lines and click in zero milliseconds.
It unmasks the tools bots hide in
Scrapers run on headless browsers and automation kits. Even when a bot dresses up as an ordinary browser, the wasp spots the traces those tools leave behind.
It baits, catches, and stalls the rest
Hidden on every page is bait no human can see. The instant a scraper grabs it, it's flagged and dropped into a tarpit that wastes its time instead of your bandwidth.
Everything it catches lands on your Agent Radar, by name, in real time.
Simple, flat pricing
Start for $1. No per-request billing, no surprise overage when you get attacked. Your key arrives by email the moment you sign up.

StopBotAPI vs Cloudflare
- ✓Works on any site with one line of code - no moving your DNS or routing your whole site through a third-party network.
- ✓Keeps the answer engines that send you shoppers. A block-everything default can also turn away ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude - and the referral traffic they bring.
- ✓One click on Shopify and WordPress, built for store owners, not network engineers.
- ✓A free exposure check and a live Agent Radar that names every AI bot hitting your site in real time.
Cloudflare is genuinely powerful and free if you are willing to run your entire site through its network and configure it.

Questions, answered plainly
Do I need to be a programmer?
No. When you sign up we email your key. Paste one line into your site, or use the one-click buttons in your dashboard. Every control is in plain English.
Will blocking AI bots hurt my Google ranking?
No. Google and Bing's search crawlers are separate from the AI training scrapers, and StopBotAPI lets them through, along with the AI search engines that can recommend you.
Will my bill jump if I get attacked?
Never. Big cloud firewalls charge overage when traffic spikes during an attack. StopBotAPI is flat-rate, so you never pay more than your plan.
Will it slow my site or annoy shoppers?
No. The script is tiny and runs quietly in the background. Your real customers never see a puzzle or a CAPTCHA.
What if a real customer gets blocked?
You have a one-click pardon in your dashboard. Release any visitor instantly. You always decide who gets in.
Do you have a plan for agencies?
Yes. Agency & Enterprise covers unlimited websites for one flat $199 a month, so you can add every client's site to one account. Looking after a very large number of sites? Email us.
Your store is open to the scrapers until you close the door.
Check your site free in ten seconds, then start blocking the bots that steal from you.
