BotGuard – The Human Verification API

BotGuard is a modern human verification layer that helps you tell real users apart from bots, automation frameworks, and agentic AI — without CAPTCHAs, tracking, or frustration.

  • Unbeatable by AI agents and automation frameworks
  • Works across desktop and mobile with fun, physics-based challenges
  • Zero PII, no fingerprinting, and privacy-safe by design
  • Simple JavaScript snippet and one API call
  • Protects logins, signups, checkout, and any critical flow

Unbeatable by AI Agents

BotGuard is built for the AI Era. Instead of testing pattern recognition, it relies on natural human motion on a real device, making it nearly impossible for bots, headless browsers, and scripted agents to pass reliably.

Human-First Experience

Verification feels more like a tiny physics-based mini game than a chore. Most real users complete it in a second or two, without the frustration of image grids, weird text puzzles, or dark patterns.

Fast, Drop-In Integration

Drop in a lightweight JavaScript snippet, add a single verification call on your backend, and you're done. We host and maintain the challenge so you don't have to build or update any UI.

Privacy-Safe and PII-Free

BotGuard doesn't rely on fingerprinting or personal data. There's no PII to collect or store — just a short-lived verification token your backend can trust.

Protects Critical Flows

Use BotGuard to shield logins, signups, payments, password resets, and any other high-value flow. If a bot can't pass BotGuard, it can't abuse your most important application components.

BotGuard is part of the FraudGuard ecosystem and works alongside our IP reputation data and Attack Correlation Engine (ACE), giving you stronger fraud decisions when you need them.



Why CAPTCHAs Fail

Traditional CAPTCHAs were built for a world where bots were simple and AI was nonexistent. Today, image and text CAPTCHAs can be solved at scale by modern AI models and automated tools, turning them into a light inconvenience instead of a meaningful barrier.

They also frustrate your best users — especially on mobile and for older or less technical users — hurt conversion rates, and raise accessibility concerns.

Why BotGuard Works

BotGuard flips the model: instead of asking "Can you read this?" it effectively asks "Are you a real person with a real device, right now?" By relying on physics and micro-movements, it's extremely difficult for bots, headless browsers, and agentic AI to fake a successful challenge.

At the same time, the experience is quick, playful, and doesn't collect any personal data — making it a better fit for both security teams and privacy-conscious users.




How BotGuard Works

1
Trigger the Challenge

Your app loads the BotGuard script and requests a challenge whenever a user hits a protected flow like login, signup, checkout, or password reset.

2
Verify the Human

The user completes a one-time short physics-based mini game on their phone. Once finished, BotGuard issues a signed verification token tied to that browser.

3
Enforce Your Rules

Your backend calls the BotGuard API to check the token. If it's valid, you treat the user as human and let them continue; if not, you can deny the request or add an extra step. You can also reuse a valid session token for a period of time so good users don't have to verify on every visit.
