robots.txt
Follows robots.txt
Amazon says its automated crawlers respect robots.txt. If robots.txt does not name Amzn-SearchBot, it follows the rules you give other search bots.

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/.
User-agent: Amzn-SearchBot Allow: / Disallow: /admin/
User-agent: Amzn-SearchBot Disallow: /
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.
User-agent: Amzn-SearchBot Allow: / Allow: /api/markdown/ 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.
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.
