Amazon’s own developer documentation states that “Amazonbot is used to improve our products and
services. This helps us provide more accurate information to customers and may be used to train
Amazon AI models.” Its full user-agent string includes the token Amazonbot/0.1.
Why this is categorised as “mixed”
Amazon’s documentation does not separate Amazonbot into distinct training/search/product tokens
the way some other operators do — a single crawler serves multiple stated purposes at once.
CrawlPact’s registry marks this as mixed purpose rather than guessing which use applies to any
specific request.
Site-owner controls
Disallowing Amazonbot opts this content out of Amazon’s general product-improvement crawling,
including any possible AI-model-training use its documentation describes. It does not affect the
separate Amzn-SearchBot (search-experience indexing) or Amzn-User (user-triggered fetches)
tokens Amazon documents on the same page — both explicitly excluded from AI training use, and
evaluated independently by CrawlPact. See /limitations for what a robots.txt
rule can and cannot guarantee.
Example robots.txt configuration
To disallow Amazonbot specifically, without affecting any other crawler:
User-agent: Amazonbot
Disallow: /If no dedicated User-agent: Amazonbot group exists in a domain's robots.txt, this crawler falls back to whatever the wildcard User-agent: * group says (RFC 9309) — see robots.txt syntax basics for how group selection works.
