I get frequent messages from people who want to know how to get started in the bot detection world. I decided to centralize my answer in this article where I present the topics and blogs/articles/websites/papers that are worth reading to learn about bot detection.

Of course, you can argue that some of them are more oriented toward bot development rather than bot detection, but both fields are connected. You need to know how to develop bots to detect them, but the opposite is also true, you need to know how bot detection works to bypass it.

The article is not exhaustive. Feel free to ping me on Twitter or LinkedIn if you think I should include other articles/websites/resources.

Note that in 2020, I had already written an overview of bot detection techniques on my personal website. While it’s getting old, it’s still relevant: https://antoinevastel.com/javascript/2020/02/09/detecting-web-bots.html.
