Help using FingerPrintJS's BotD tool to detect bots

[xanaIDE]

I came across this tool from FingerPrintJS here, which is a tool to detect bots on your website based on their UserAgent...etc, here is the BotD's page on GitHub.

They offer a generous free 3 million requests per month which is totally awesome, but I have no idea how it really works and how to use it.

Can anyone here using this tool show us how to implement it on our website (or Cloudflare as they have an integration for it)?

Looks like it should be pretty simple, the API gives a single response with one of 3 different outcomes (good/bad/not bot). I've just signed up for their API so when I have a play around I'll report back.

There's code on Github that you can host yourself (avoid latency) that detects bots and is free.

Is it possible to make a little thread about how to implement it when you try it? I think a lot of people will find it useful, especially the ones that don't have a technical background.

The problem is that I don't know how to do it, I regret not learning the technical stuff.
