YandexPartner is a Yandex crawler associated with partner integrations and content distribution agreements. It fetches webpage content and metadata to support Yandex services that rely on licensed or syndicated data from external publishers. This traffic is not general search crawling and does not directly affect Yandex Search rankings. Crawl activity is typically targeted and low-volume, focused on partner-approved resources and data synchronization workflows. Its purpose is to ensure accurate, timely content delivery between Yandex and its publishing or platform partners. It ignores the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexPartner using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexPartner traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
