Allowlist for user agent + IP address combinations in the server side paywall

We are considering a server side paywall but need to have a way to allow some bots to see the full article content. The most straightforward way of doing this is to create an allowlist of user agent + IP address combinations. We're aware of DataDome integrations, but that completely blocks a disallowed bot. Instead, we want to be able to serve paywalled content.
