This XenForo 2.x addon adds additional definitions for bot detection in sessions.
This allows more accurate indication of the number of users vs robots online at any given time.
New bot definitions are pulled automatically via API and potential new bots detected are sent back to us for analysis for inclusion in the bot definitions.
As of August 2023, our bot definition file can detect over 1,200 bots and also contains a list of false-positives where genuine browser user agents happen to use keywords like "bot" or "spider" in their name - for example, the Cubot J9 Android phone.
Requirements
This addon requires PHP 7.0.0 or higher and works on XenForo 2.x
Usage
When you look at Current Visitors, you'll see additional robots identified - also look at the "Robots" list on that page http://www.example.com/community/online/?type=robot
