YandexComBot is a Yandex crawler responsible for indexing web content for Yandex Search in languages other than Russian. It crawls pages to discover and index multilingual content for international search results. The bot can index pages unless there is an explicit robot-specific restriction defined in robots.txt. It respects standard crawl directives and follows Yandex’s indexing policies for non-Russian content. Crawl activity is comparable to YandexBot but focused on international sites and language variants. Its purpose is to keep Yandex’s global search index accurate and accessible across multiple languages and regions. It ignores the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexComBot using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexComBot traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
