## What is Amazonbot?

Collects web content for Amazon products and services, potentially including AI training.

## How to identify it

Look for the Amazonbot identifier in a request’s User-Agent. This is a name match, not identity verification. Version strings may change.

## How to check identity

Compare the request IP with the current operator-published ranges linked in the source. A matching name alone does not verify identity.

## Access and robots.txt

Use the Amazonbot robots.txt group to control this crawler. Configure Amzn-SearchBot and Amzn-User separately; access does not guarantee inclusion in a product.

Optional full-site opt-out; merge with existing rules only if intended. Not a security control.

## What it means in your analytics

Broad collection is not evidence of an Alexa user requesting your page. Separate it from Amazon’s search and user-fetch identities.

## Useful measures

Crawl volume; Content paths; Response status.

## What to check next

Review training permission and crawl load together. Keep business metrics separate from this background collection.
