List of Cloudflare Verified Bots
Cloudflare keeps a list of verified and well-known bots. The list can be found on Cloudflare Radar. However, it’s divided into pages and not sorted by categories.
For those interested, I have made a table of the verified bots below. Having them sorted by category is very useful when working with Cloudflare’s WAF, as you can block or allow bots by entire categories instead of one by one.
If you are looking to block bots that steal your bandwidth and scrape your content you can use these categories. However, if you need fine-tuning your blocklist, add the bots individually.
There are some discrepancies with this list and the list of categories on the Cloudflare Docs page. The categories listed there are as follows:
