# AbyssGuard > AbyssGuard is a website protection API that uses behavioral fingerprinting to detect and block malicious traffic - bots, scrapers, credential stuffing, and other automated abuse — without relying on CAPTCHAs or IP blocklists. AbyssGuard sits in front of a website or API and scores incoming requests in real time based on behavioral signals (not just IP/UA heuristics), letting legitimate users through while blocking automated abuse. Integration is via a lightweight snippet/SDK plus a server-side verification API. ## Docs - [Integration Guides](https://docs.abyssguard.com/): Install the client snippet and verify your first request
