User agent

Requests from TinEye Crawler carry a user agent like this:

TinEye-bot/0.02 (see http://www.tineye.com/crawler.html)

Device Detector identifies it with this pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression):

TinEye-bot

Anyone can put any name in a user agent. Where the operator publishes IP ranges, checking the request's address against them is the way to confirm a visit is genuine.

How Vireo counts TinEye Crawler

Vireo keeps requests from TinEye Crawler out of your pageviews and visitors and counts them on its bot report under Search engines, so you can see how much it left out rather than wonder why your server logs show more traffic.

Checked by running Vireo Analytics' own bot filter over TinEye Crawler's user agents.
