Amazon

Bot & Web Crawler Operator

Amazon runs a sprawling automation footprint that powers its retail marketplace, AWS ecosystem, adtech products, voice-assistant services, and performance intelligence systems. Its crawlers span everything from product ingestion and offer matching to brand protection, link health checks, and Alexa-related retrieval. While Amazon’s bot activity is significant, public documentation is thinner than Google’s; identification typically relies on their published AmazonBot specs, IP disclosures, and consistent DNS patterns tied to AWS infrastructure.
