dimension: Literal\["BOT", "BOT\_KIND", "BOT\_OPERATOR", "BOT\_CATEGORY"] Specifies the attribute by which to group the results.

Specify one or more Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) as a comma-separated list. Prefix with `-` to exclude ASNs from results. For example, `-174, 3356` excludes results from AS174, but includes results from AS3356.

[Link to this property](<#(resource)%20radar.bots%20%3E%20(method)%20summary%20%3E%20(params)%20default%20%3E%20(param)%20botOperator%20%3E%20(schema)>) bot\_verification\_status: Optional\[List\[Literal\["VERIFIED"]]] Filters results by bot verification status (Verified vs. Unverified). [Link to this property](<#(resource)%20radar.bots%20%3E%20(method)%20summary%20%3E%20(params)%20default%20%3E%20(param)%20botVerificationStatus%20%3E%20(schema)>) continent: Optional\[Sequence\[str]] Filters results by continent. Specify a comma-separated list of alpha-2 codes. Prefix with `-` to exclude continents from results. For example, `-EU,NA` excludes results from EU, but includes results from NA.

Alternative to `dateRange`; provide together with `dateStart`. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each `dateStart`/`dateEnd` is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected. [Link to this property](<#(resource)%20radar.bots%20%3E%20(method)%20summary%20%3E%20(params)%20default%20%3E%20(param)%20dateEnd%20%3E%20(schema)>) date\_range: Optional\[Sequence\[str]] Filters results by relative date range ending at the current time, with each value producing a separate series. Use `d` for days (up to `364d`) or `w` for weeks (up to `52w`). Append `control` to request the equivalent previous period for comparison: the comparison window is shifted back by the current window’s length rounded up to a whole number of weeks, so it keeps the same weekday alignment and does not overlap the current window (e.g. `7dcontrol` covers days -14 to -7, `10dcontrol` covers days -24 to -14). For example, pass `7d` and `7dcontrol` to compare this week with the previous week. All series must resolve to the same duration as the main series; relative ranges (including `control`) satisfy this automatically. Use this parameter or set specific start and end dates (`dateStart` and `dateEnd` parameters).

Alternative to `dateRange`; provide together with `dateEnd`. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each `dateStart`/`dateEnd` is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected.
