Supported Bots

📘 This lists the bots, or web crawlers, supported in Botify.

Overview

Activity for the following bots is available in LogAnalyzer reports when included in your log files. The activity for the bots indexing content for search engines is also included in SiteCrawler reports. Activity from other bots is excluded in SiteCrawler since these bots only access and crawl web pages to gather information or perform analysis and, therefore, do not impact your SEO. Including the crawl activity for these non-indexing bots would skew your analyses with data that does not affect your site evaluation.

If you filter your log data, update your filters to include these bot user agents.

Supported Bots in SpeedWorkers

These bots are also supported in SpeedWorkers; however, you must have Bing in your contract to serve to AI bots through SpeedWorkers.

💡User agent names are case-insensitive in routing rules.

User Agents

To identify bots in logs or when configuring CDN settings, include the following user agents according to those allowed by your contract.

👀 Wildcards are used in this list because some full user agent strings are not publicly available, and new ones are continuously added.

Botify:

botify-bot-sw-test

Google:

*google-agent*

*googlebot/*

*google-inspectiontool/*

*googleother/*

Bing:

*bingbot/*

Other Search bots:

*yandexbot/*

*yandexmobilebot/*

*baiduspider/*

*baiduspider+/*

*applebot/*

*yeti/*

AI bots:

*GPTBot/*
*Amazonbot/*
*anthropic-ai*
*Bytespider*
*CCBot/*
*ChatGPT-User/*
*Claudebot/*
*Claude-Web*
*Claude-User/*
*Claude-Searchbot/*
*FacebookBot/*
*meta-externalagent/*
*OAI-SearchBot/*
*PerplexityBot/*
*Perplexity-User/*
*YouBot/*

👉 When identifying user agents to intercept for SpeedWorkers, use the format required by your CDN, such as:

About Bot Authentication

  • Bytespider

  • CCBot

  • ClaudeBot

  • Claude-Web
