Custom-bot category

Creates or modifies a bot category that you can use in addition to the Akamai-defined bot categories.

To configure a custom category you need to create a JSON array containing the desired settings and values. That array is then used as the value of the custom category argument. For information about constructing this JSON file see the links listed in the Related API Endpoints section.

Scopes: Security configuration; custom bot category

Example

terraform {
  required_providers {
    akamai = {
      source = "akamai/akamai"
    }
  }
}

provider "akamai" {
  edgerc = "~/.edgerc"
}

data "akamai_appsec_configuration" "configuration" {
  name = "Documentation"
}

// USE CASE: User wants to create a new custom bot category

resource "akamai_botman_custom_bot_category" "custom_bot_category" {
  config_id           = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.config_id
  custom_bot_category = file("${path.module}/custom_bot_category.json")
}

// USE CASE: User wants to modify the custom bot category with the ID a08a6d8e-a23c-4cb3-a5c9-8e3dc0d4c0b8

resource "akamai_botman_custom_bot_category" "custom_bot_category" {
  config_id           = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.config_id
  custom_bot_category = file("${path.module}/custom_bot_category.json")
}
