How do I prevent my Netlify site from being scraped?

Hi, how do I prevent my Netlify site from being scraped? Does Netlify offer bot protection or the ability to detect scrapers?

Have you seen this answer, regarding DDoS attacks?

DDoS protection

Your team overview should also show you your current bandwidth usage: @Janiya - I’m not sure what you mean. Netlify has their own firewalls and spam protection measures in place, but ultimately they serve purely static files so there’s no servers to need protecting. Bots or malicious users would, at worst, just get delivered your static file contents from Netlify. – Jon

This, of course, is somewhat beside the point if you are getting so much bot / scraper traffic that it kicks you into a higher paid tier.

Yep, that makes sense. Does Netlify support 3rd party bot protectors like DataDome (https://datadome.co/)?

Judging by the DataDome docs, I think the answer is no. DataDome seems to assume that you have a server running, which is not the case with Netlify.
