Should you block Amazonbot?

Blocking it limits Amazon’s general product-improvement and potential AI training crawl path. Amazon now uses separate Amzn-SearchBot and Amzn-User agents for search and live user requests.

What blocking each Amazon bot does
Amazon botJobIf you block it
Amzn-SearchBotSearchAllowing it makes your content eligible to appear in Amazon search experiences such as Alexa. Amazon says it does not crawl content for generative AI model training.

robots.txt
User-agent: Amazonbot
Disallow: /

Asks Amazonbot not to crawl any page. Other Amazon bots are unaffected. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.

Ignored robots.txt?

Allowing Amazonbot only creates the possibility of retrieval. To find out whether your pages are selected, measure which answer engines actually cite your pages using a stable query set.

Also seen under Amazon’s name, but not in its current documentation: amazon-kendra, AmazonBuyForMe, NovaAct. Rules naming them control no documented Amazon crawler.

Spot it in your logs.

Match the name, then check where the request came from. Anyone can copy a user-agent.

    Match the name

    Search your server or CDN log for Amazonbot, case-insensitive. A match is a clue, not proof.

  2. 2

    Check the published IP ranges

    Compare the request’s source with the list Amazon publishes. Anything outside it is not Amazon. developer.amazon.com/amazonbot/ip-addresses/

How this is measured

Finalized daily crawler summaries from sites connected to Trakkr, grouped by the crawler named in each request. Trakkr’s own site is excluded. A site counts as reached in a week when it logged at least one request from Amazonbot. The typical figure is the median weekly requests among the sites it reached.

  • This is a sample of connected sites, not the whole web.
  • A matching user-agent does not prove the named operator sent the request.
  • Requests are not unique pages, training use or citations.
  • Crawlers seen on fewer than 10 sites are not shown. Classic search crawlers such as Googlebot are not collected on every site, so they are left out.
