ShieldSquare Feed-Based Protection provides a mechanism to take action on bots at the IP Level without the need to make a Synchronous API call to ShieldSquare Service. Feed-Based Protection comes in very handy when the complete web page content is cached at the CDN level, and requests don’t reach the server layer before being rendered. Feed-Based Protection can be consumed at the application level, server level, WAF level, or CDN level depending on your needs.
The documentation below explains ShieldSquare's bot blocking procedure by consuming Feed-Based Protection, encompassing prerequisites, Service description, response formats, and the implementation process.
