Akamai AI Visibility Integration

Finseo offers a native Akamai integration that streams DataStream 2 edge logs into its Bot Traffic dashboard and keeps only AI and search crawler requests. You see which pages the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot fetch, giving Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) teams real crawl data at CDN scale.

Yes. Point an Akamai DataStream 2 stream at the Finseo HTTPS endpoint and Finseo filters each batch down to GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Googlebot, Bingbot, and other known crawlers. Bot Traffic then shows crawled pages, crawl frequency, status codes, and response sizes per crawler, so you know exactly what ChatGPT and Claude read.

Yes. Finseo is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform with a native Akamai DataStream 2 integration. They do different jobs: Akamai delivers and secures your properties at global scale, while Finseo turns the edge logs into AI visibility insight, comparing which pages OAI-SearchBot and Claude-SearchBot fetch with the sources ChatGPT and Claude cite.

In Finseo, open Bot Traffic, Sync, click Connect on the Akamai card, and choose a custom Authorization header or Basic auth to get your endpoint and credentials. In Akamai Control Center, go to Common Services, DataStream, create a stream for your properties, choose JSON with the request, user-agent, and geo fields, set Custom HTTPS as destination, validate, and activate.

Only crawler requests. Finseo processes each Akamai batch, keeps requests from verified AI and search crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and Bingbot, and discards everything else, so regular visitor requests are never stored. Finseo also verifies each request against the crawler operator's published IP ranges. Credentials are project bound and revoked on disconnect.

Yes. The Akamai integration is included in every Finseo plan with no per-integration fee. On the Akamai side you need DataStream 2 with a Custom HTTPS destination, configured once in Akamai Control Center under Common Services, DataStream. Finseo generates the endpoint URL and either an Authorization header value or Basic auth credentials for the stream.

Yes. One Akamai DataStream 2 stream can cover all selected properties, so enterprise teams see whether GPTBot and ClaudeBot reach every product line, country site, and documentation portal from a single Finseo Bot Traffic project. Historical .log uploads and the live stream share that project and are deduplicated by bot, timestamp, IP, and page path.

Because GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot never run JavaScript, tag based analytics tools report no AI crawler activity even on sites ChatGPT and Perplexity cite daily. The behavior is only visible at the Akamai edge. Finseo reads the DataStream 2 feed and shows which pages each crawler reads, giving Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) a factual basis.

Akamai DataStream 2 delivers log batches as often as every 30 seconds, depending on the upload interval you configure in the stream. Finseo processes each batch on arrival, so a crawler visit typically shows in the Bot Traffic dashboard within about a minute. The User-Agent field is mandatory, otherwise Finseo cannot tell GPTBot from a browser.

An AI engine can only cite a page its crawlers can read. Bot Traffic shows which crawlers reach which pages, sorted by purpose (live answer, search index, training), and where they are blocked or hit errors, so you can fix access before it costs you visibility in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity.
