What is the Amazonbot user agent?

Requests from Amazonbot carry "amazonbot" in the User-Agent header (matching is case-insensitive). The full string includes a version number that changes over time; Amazon's documentation lists the current one. In robots.txt, the token is Amazonbot.

How do I block Amazonbot in robots.txt?

Add "User-agent: Amazonbot" followed by "Disallow: /" to your robots.txt. robots.txt is a request, not a lock: a scraper using Amazonbot's name ignores it, which is why verification matters.

Can I see when Amazonbot visits my site?

Yes. HadoSEO logs every Amazonbot request by page, checks it against Amazon's published data, and flags requests that use the name from IPs Amazon doesn't own. For a one-off look, the free log file analyzer reads a week of your server logs in the browser.

How to verify a real Amazonbot request.

Forward-confirmed reverse DNS: the IP's hostname must end in .crawl.amazonbot.amazon, and that hostname must resolve back to the same IP.

01Check the User-Agent header contains "amazonbot" (case-insensitive). That is only a claim: anyone can send it.
02Run a reverse DNS lookup on the IP. The hostname must end in .crawl.amazonbot.amazon.
03Run a forward lookup on that hostname. It must return the original IP (forward-confirmed reverse DNS).

Skip the lookups: the free bot verifier checks one IP against the same registry, and the log file analyzer checks every Amazonbot request in a week of access logs. Requests that fail are flagged as spoofed, not hidden.

[ robots.txt ]

Block or allow Amazonbot in robots.txt.

Add one of these groups to the robots.txt at your domain root. The token matches case-insensitively.

block Amazonbot

User-agent: Amazonbot
Disallow: /

allow Amazonbot

User-agent: Amazonbot
Allow: /

robots.txt only binds crawlers that choose to follow it. A scraper sending Amazonbot's user agent from its own servers won't, which is why HadoSEO checks the IP behind every request.
