IbouBot

IbouBot is an Ibou crawler for building a graph representation of the web used in search. This record has no current Ibou source, so treat a matching request as unverified.

Needed to be found in its search index.

Should you block IbouBot?

You can, but it may not listen. Ibou has not documented IbouBot, so treat any rule as a request. Blocking it limits Ibou’s ability to include your pages in its search graph.

robots.txt
User-agent: IbouBot
Disallow: /

Asks IbouBot not to crawl any page. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.

Ignored robots.txt?

Whether to allow IbouBot is a policy call. Either way, check which AI platforms actually send you human visitors before assuming crawl volume equals value.

Spot it in your logs.

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

This string comes from a public crawler registry or observed naming, not current operator documentation.

  1. 1

    Match the name

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

  2. 2

    Check the source

    Ibou publishes no IP ranges, reverse DNS or signatures for IbouBot in the sources here, so it cannot be verified. Treat matches as unconfirmed.

Serve the content in HTML

The cited operator material does not verify JavaScript rendering. Serve useful HTML before client-side JavaScript where possible.

Removed from the public crawler registry this entry was sourced from on 31 July 2026. Kept here because the token still appears in robots.txt files and server logs.
