How The Shield protects against Scrapers bots

Shield doesn’t have any direct mitigations for scrapers like you’re describing, but if you notice anything similar about the requests, such as their user-agents, for example, you could create custom security rules for them.

If you don’t want to go down that route, you could try implementing some rate limiting on the site to slow them down and when they exceed the limits, ultimately they’ll be blocked.

These are all premium features, however and not available/supported in the free version at this time. We can’t discuss ShieldPRO here on these forum, but if you’d like to consider supporting our work, you can do this here.
