[**Radar**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/radar/) now includes content type insights for AI bot and crawler traffic. The new `content_type` dimension and filter shows the distribution of content types returned to AI crawlers, grouped by MIME type category.

The content type dimension and filter are available via the following API endpoints:

- [`/ai/bots/summary/content_type`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/radar/subresources/ai/subresources/bots/methods/summary_v2/)
- [`/ai/bots/timeseries_groups/content_type`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/radar/subresources/ai/subresources/bots/methods/timeseries_groups/)
