Amazon bots
10 bots in the directory · Reviewed July 2026
Amazon runs three documented crawlers with separated jobs: Amazonbot improves Amazon services and may feed AI model training, Amzn-SearchBot builds the index behind search experiences like Alexa, and Amzn-User fetches pages live when a customer request needs current information. Each honors its own robots.txt token, and Amazon publishes IP addresses for all three.
