Get time series distribution of bots HTTP requests by dimension.
Retrieves the distribution of HTTP requests from bots, grouped by the specified dimension over time.
Security
API Token

API Email + API Key
The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key.
The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys.

Query Parameters
Filters results by Autonomous System. Specify one or more Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) as a comma-separated list. Prefix with - to exclude ASNs from results. For example, -174, 3356 excludes results from AS174, but includes results from AS3356.
Filters results by bot verification status (Verified vs. Unverified).
Filters results by continent. Specify a comma-separated list of alpha-2 codes. Prefix with - to exclude continents from results. For example, -EU,NA excludes results from EU, but includes results from NA.
End of the date range (inclusive). Alternative to dateRange; provide together with dateStart. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each dateStart/dateEnd is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected.
Filters results by relative date range ending at the current time, with each value producing a separate series. Use <n>d for days (up to 364d) or <n>w for weeks (up to 52w). Append control to request the equivalent previous period for comparison: the comparison window is shifted back by the current window’s length rounded up to a whole number of weeks, so it keeps the same weekday alignment and does not overlap the current window (e.g. 7dcontrol covers days -14 to -7, 10dcontrol covers days -24 to -14). For example, pass 7d and 7dcontrol to compare this week with the previous week. All series must resolve to the same duration as the main series; relative ranges (including control) satisfy this automatically. Use this parameter or set specific start and end dates (dateStart and dateEnd parameters).
Start of the date range. Alternative to dateRange; provide together with dateEnd. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each dateStart/dateEnd is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected.
Limits the number of objects per group to the top items within the specified time range. When item count exceeds the limit, extra items appear grouped under an “other” category. Only supported on high-cardinality dimensions; otherwise the request is rejected. Minimum value is 2.
