>the score returned here is not a reflection on your Google account or type of traffic

I got random scores as well. It looks like this is just a sample of the data structure that the service returns, not the actual score.




That would be a useless site, but that's not how I read it. I understand it as "this is not that Google thinks your account is a bot, it's that this request might be made by a bot. And since you didn't use this site as a normal website, it also doesn't score your type of traffic, just this one request". You might be right, but it really does seem to be doing a request to their API.


>That would be a useless site

looks like it is a demo of the API for people wanting to consume it. knowing what the payload looks like is not useless at all in this case.


Documenting requests' format and their return values is documentation and doesn't require an interactive site that looks totally real and makes you expect a real (rather than a dummy) answer. Which is not to say it's impossible, but it would be weird/unlikely. Usually when there is an example api request in documentation, it's a real (live) request, too, and this isn't even a documentation page.
