[Amazon Bots can take upto 30 days to read your Robots.txt updates.] Amazonbot is Amazon’s official web crawler, used to discover and fetch webpage content for applications such as Alexa, product-related features, and Amazon’s AI and search systems. Crawl activity varies based on Amazon services that rely on external web content, but it is generally moderate and focused on structured data, text content, and page metadata. Its purpose is to enhance Amazon’s search, AI models, and user-facing features. It ignores the global user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies Amazonbot using Amazon’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine Amazonbot traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
