Lightweight security platform for modern apps

Get401 is the
alarm system for your appAI scraping defense

Stop buying one tool for login, another for bot defense, and a third for evidence. Get401 combines identity, server-first content protection, and abuse visibility in one lightweight security platform.

Features

The stack for access, protection, and proof

Get401 is moving beyond authentication. The product is becoming the trust layer that decides who gets content, how it is protected, and what evidence survives abuse.

Auth As The Trust Layer

Use sessions and identity as the base signal for who should see protected content and who should not.

Shield For Text And Content

Watermark, gate, and evaluate sensitive content before it leaves the server, not only after the browser renders it.

Legal-Ready Evidence Direction

Tie suspicious access, session context, and watermark output into evidence you can investigate later.

See The Bots You Miss Today

Track suspicious sessions, honeypot hits, and content access decisions instead of guessing when scraping happens.

Three Layers, One Install

Auth, Shield, and later Legal reporting work together instead of forcing teams to duct-tape separate vendors.

Built For The AI Scraping Era

Protect docs, dashboards, courses, prompts, and internal knowledge that generic auth tools do not defend.

Security Visibility In Product Terms

See which routes are probed, which sessions are risky, and how policy changes affect what the app serves.

EU-Native Positioning

A stronger story for teams that care about GDPR, data residency, and proving what happened after an incident.

Documentation

Step-by-step guides for auth, protected routes, and server-first Shield flows with Get401

Quick Start

Install auth first, then add Shield where content actually matters.

1

Installation

npm install get401
2

Import & Setup

import { Get401Provider } from 'get401';
import { ShieldProvider } from 'get401/shield/react';

function App() {
  return (
    <Get401Provider appId={"your-app-id"}>
      <ShieldProvider appId={"your-app-id"}>
        <YourApp />
      </ShieldProvider>
    </Get401Provider>
  );
}
Architecture

Identity becomes the trust layer

We are designing Get401 so auth, protection, and observability grow from the same foundation instead of three disconnected products.

Your Application

Docs, dashboards, courses, internal tools, and AI products

Client + Server Runtimes

React, Next.js, Vue, vanilla JS, Express, and server-first flows

Control Plane And Evidence

App config, future dashboard, and evidence-oriented event history

2026 Comparison

Get401 vs Clerk vs Auth0: identity plus protection

Others authenticate users. Get401 is being built to authenticate users, protect what they can access, and expose suspicious usage patterns in one workflow.

The kind of teams we are building this for:

Pricing

Priced like a lightweight security platform

Get401 is not priced like a login widget. It is positioned as identity, Shield, and evidence in one security workflow for startups and mid-market teams.

Starter

For startups that want one security foundation instead of separate auth and bot tools

$79per month

Founding teams can request early-access pricing before public launch

  • Core auth flows
  • Basic Shield protection
  • Client-side telemetry
  • 1 app environment
  • Email support

Enterprise

For mid-market teams that need policy design, evidence workflows, and custom controls

From $499annual contracts

Built for security-sensitive deployments, onboarding, and custom agreements

  • Everything in Pro
  • Custom policy design
  • Security review support
  • Dedicated onboarding
  • Custom agreements

Directionally includes: auth foundation, Shield protection, abuse visibility, EU positioning, and a path to legal-ready evidence.

How It Works

From auth to protection in four steps

The product starts with login, but the value shows up when you protect what users can access next.

01

Create An App

Create your app in Get401 and define which parts of your product are public, protected, or sensitive.

02

Install SDK

Install auth first, then enable Shield where content actually matters.

$ npx get401 init
03

Add Shield Policy

Choose client-basic, hybrid, or server-max modes and decide how sensitive routes should behave.

04

Monitor And Tighten

See auth state, Shield decisions, and suspicious access patterns. Tighten policy as your product grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

The product direction in plain English

Get401 is evolving from an auth SDK into a lightweight security platform: identity, content protection, and evidence-friendly visibility in one product direction.

The goal is still fast integration. Auth can be installed quickly, and Shield layers can then be added incrementally depending on how sensitive the content is.

Because they solve identity well, but they do not solve content protection, AI scraping visibility, or attribution after sensitive content is accessed.

Shield is the protection layer around content. It can evaluate risk, watermark text, expose suspicious sessions, add honeypots, and move important decisions to the server.

No. It is useful for docs, courses, dashboards, internal tools, AI apps, and any product where the data after login matters as much as the login itself.

It does not make theft impossible, but it makes access more controlled, mass extraction harder, suspicious behavior more visible, and leaks more attributable.

The current foundation is strong, but we are honest about what is next: deeper challenge flows, richer dashboard visibility, and stronger evidence workflows.

Auth + Shield + Legal. One workflow for access, protection, visibility, and later evidence generation around abuse and scraping.

Protect what happens
after login

Get401 is becoming a lightweight security platform for teams that care about scraping, sensitive content, and what users can access after authentication.
