REALTIME BOT LOOKUP (RBL) SERVICE

By requesting the page http://rbl.botslist.ca/whois?addr=XXXXXXX from our main server, low-traffic websites can use our realtime webservice to find out if an ip address is active in our bot database.

If the ip address is currently active in our bot database, then our server will respond with a 200-OK along with detailed but easy to parse information for the ip address; otherwise our server will respond with a 404-Not Found message. Please use the form below to try this service now.

IP Address:

NOTE:  If you access this service through an automated script, then you MUST ensure that you send no more than ten concurrent requests to our server at any given time. Otherwise, our server may deny access and add your ip address to our database.

If your traffic exceeds what we freely offer with this service, then we recommend that you buy one of our software products to help you manage bot activities locally on your server.

AUTOMATIC DATABASE UPDATE (ADU) SERVICE

For medium and high traffic websites that cannot use our RBL service, we provide another service that allows you to receive a copy of our bot database every three months for free when you purchase some of our software products, and for a small charge, you can also receive the database more frequently or without buying any of our software products.

This service will automatically post a copy of our bot database to registered web servers and email accounts on a flexible schedule so that absolutely no further maintenance is required from you after the initial setup is completed. Click the button below to signup for this great service.
