Get a bot route rule

GET
/domains/{domain}/rules/bot-route/{ruleId}
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.nsin.ir/domains/example.com/rules/bot-route/1 \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Requires domain.view.

domain
required
string

The domain name (for example example.com) — not a numeric id.

Example
example.com
ruleId
required
integer

Numeric id of the rule.

The rule.

Media type application/json
object
id
integer
domain_id
integer
record_id

Deprecated single-record scope. Prefer record_ids. Absent for zone-wide rules.

integer
record_ids

The proxied DNS records this rule applies to. Empty or absent means zone-wide — every proxied record of the domain.

Array<integer>
type
string
Allowed values: cache drop redirect rewrite waf captcha rate_limit bot_route origin_pool origin_route fingerprint error_page
enabled
boolean
priority

Evaluation order; lower runs first. Defaults to 100.

integer
host_pattern

Optional hostname filter. Empty means the rule is not host-scoped.

string
host_match_type

How host_pattern is matched. The empty string means “no host filter”, and is the only valid value when host_pattern is empty — the two fields are set and cleared together.

string
Allowed values: "" exact wildcard regex
action_mode
  • enforce — the rule acts (block, redirect, challenge, …).
  • dry_run — the rule matches and is logged as “would have acted”, but the request reaches the origin unchanged. Use it to test a rule safely.

Not every rule type honours this; cache ignores it.

string
Allowed values: enforce dry_run
created_at
string format: date-time
updated_at
string format: date-time
bot_kinds

Which bots this rule matches. Must not be empty.

Array<string>
Allowed values: * gptbot oai-searchbot chatgpt-user claudebot claude-user perplexitybot perplexity-user googlebot google-extended bingbot ccbot bytespider meta-externalagent amazonbot applebot duckduckbot yandexbot ahrefsbot semrushbot mj12bot generic-bot
require_verified

Only match bots whose identity was verified (by reverse DNS or published IP ranges), not merely self-declared in the user agent.

boolean
action
  • block — refuse the request.
  • alt_content — serve body with status instead of the origin.
  • alt_origin — proxy to alt_dest:alt_port over alt_scheme.
  • tag — let it through, but tag it in telemetry.
string
Allowed values: block alt_content alt_origin tag
status

Status code for alt_content.

integer
default: 200
body

Response body for alt_content.

string
alt_dest

Origin address for alt_origin.

string
alt_port

Origin port for alt_origin.

integer
alt_scheme

Scheme used to reach alt_dest.

string
Allowed values: http https
Example
{
"type": "cache",
"host_match_type": "",
"action_mode": "enforce",
"bot_kinds": [

"action": "block",
"status": 200,
"alt_scheme": "http"
}

Missing, malformed, revoked or expired API key — or the owning account is inactive.
