Look for this token in the request User-Agent (case-insensitive):

Should you allow or block Amazonbot?
Blocking it removes your pages from AI answer retrieval — if you want to be cited by AI assistants, this is the last crawler you should block.
To block it anyway, add this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: Amazonbot Disallow: /
Note: robots.txt is a request, not a lock — well-behaved crawlers honor it; verify with your own traffic data.
