You can now use Vercel BotID to protect your most sensitive endpoints in any JavaScript framework, like SvelteKit and Nuxt.

BotID is our [advanced bot protection](https://vercel.com/blog/introducing-botid) for high-value endpoints like registration, checkout, and AI interactions. Since launch, it has already protected nearly a million API requests.

Installing or upgrading to `botid@1.4.3` adds support for universal JavaScript environments with the new `initBotId({ protect: ... })` function.

Here's an example of `initBotId` used to set up BotID in SvelteKit:

**src/hooks.client.ts**
```svelte
import { initBotId } from 'botid/client/core';
 
export function init() {
  initBotId({
    protect: [
      {
        path: '/api/user',
        method: 'POST',
      },
    ],
  });
}
```

> **Note:** We recommend using `initBotId()` in `instrumentation-client.ts` for better performance in **Next.js v15.3+**. Earlier versions can continue using the React `<BotIdClient>` component approach.

Check out the [updated documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/botid) for setup instructions across all supported frameworks.
