Anubis is a Go‑based service that adds a proof‑of‑work challenge to incoming HTTP requests to deter AI‑driven crawlers. It acts as middleware that can be deployed in front of web applications to increase the cost of large‑scale scraping.

Use cases

• Prevent AI companies from mass‑scraping my website
• Add a lightweight proof‑of‑work challenge to block automated bots
• Reduce spam and abusive traffic without requiring CAPTCHAs
• Protect public APIs from being harvested by crawlers
• Implement a cost‑based rate‑limiting mechanism for web traffic

When to choose

• You need a self‑hosted, low‑overhead anti‑bot solution that doesn't rely on third‑party services
• Your traffic patterns can tolerate a small delay for legitimate users in exchange for higher scraper costs
• You prefer a proof‑of‑work approach over CAPTCHAs or complex fingerprinting

When to avoid

• Your site requires a frictionless experience for all users and cannot afford any delay
• You need advanced bot detection based on fingerprinting, machine learning, or behavioral analysis
• Your infrastructure cannot run Go binaries or Docker containers
