Amazonbot

Used to improve Amazon's products and services. Amazon says the data may be used to train Amazon AI models.

Operator

Amazon

Job

Model training

Collects pages for training future models. Slower to pay off, and separate from search and citations.

robots.txt

Follows robots.txt

Amazon says its automated crawlers respect the Robots Exclusion Protocol, honouring user-agent and allow/disallow directives.

User agent

How it identifies itself

Copied from the vendor's documentation. Version numbers inside these strings change over time, so match on the token rather than the whole string.
Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Amazonbot/0.1) Chrome/W.X.Y.Z Safari/537.36

robots.txt

Allow or block Amazonbot

Add one of these groups to the robots.txt at the root of your domain.

A crawler obeys only the most specific group that names it (RFC 9309), so a named group does not inherit the rules under User-agent: *. Repeat any paths you keep private, as the example does with /admin/.

Allow Amazonbot
User-agent: Amazonbot
Allow: /
Disallow: /admin/
Block Amazonbot
User-agent: Amazonbot
Disallow: /
What tryrankwise.com does

We name Amazonbot and let it in

Read from the robots.txt we serve. We want AI engines to read and cite this site, so every AI crawler is allowed everywhere except the app, the API and the sign-in pages (/dashboard/, /api/, /login, /signup, /sign-in, /sign-up). The file also declares Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes.

tryrankwise.com/robots.txt
User-agent: Amazonbot
Allow: /
Disallow: /dashboard/
Disallow: /api/
Disallow: /login
Disallow: /signup
Disallow: /sign-in
Disallow: /sign-up

See the whole file. The same rules repeat in every group, because a crawler that matches a named group ignores the wildcard one.

Worth knowing

More from Amazon

  • Amazon's crawlers do not support the crawl-delay directive. They honour a noarchive robots meta tag as a signal not to use the page for model training.
