Personal side project update: I decided to open source the list that contains all IPs used by bots/proxies in the last 7 days: github.com/antoinevastel/
No need to query my bot API (antoinevastel.com/bots/api-info), you can directly load the IP list in memory to perform operations faster.

More information regarding how these IPs are collected:
antoinevastel.com/bot/2021/08/21
antoinevastel.com/bot/2021/10/31
Stats about the API: antoinevastel.com/bots/api-info

Once again, blocking these IPs may result in false positives since most of them are shared, in particular the residential/mobile IPs.
However, that's still a valuable signal when it comes to bot/fraud detection. Use it wisely!
