About App
The BotScout app helps you fight automated web scripts, also known as "bots". Bots mindlessly roam the web looking for forms to fill out and submit to spread spam, drop links, and gain admittance to a site to find and exploit additional forms. This results in problems such as fake registrations on forums, fake users in your carefully developed databases, and offensive link spam.
The BotScout app tracks names, IPs, and email addresses that bots use and log them as unique signatures for future reference. You can use BotScout's simple yet powerful API to test forms when they're submitted on your website.
