What TangibleeBot does
TangibleeBot is Tangiblee's crawler for collecting product data from e-commerce websites, which the company describes as its preferred data-collection method. It extracts the product SKU, title, product URL, category URL, and product image URL, parses dimension data, and selects the product image with the highest resolution and best shooting angle. Crawls run through a first-in-first-out queue, by default once daily, configurable from every 15 minutes to once a day. It identifies itself as TangibleeBot/1.0.0.0 (http://tangiblee.com/bot) and is designed to simulate normal visitor behavior.

What is TangibleeBot?
TangibleeBot (user agent TangibleeBot/1.0.0.0) is Tangiblee's crawler that collects product data such as SKU, title, URLs, and images from e-commerce sites, by default once per day through a queued crawl job.
How do I block TangibleeBot?
You can address it in robots.txt with a group starting "User-agent: TangibleeBot" followed by "Disallow: /", but Tangiblee's documentation does not state whether the crawler honors robots.txt. For sites with bot restrictions, Tangiblee says it provides its IP address on request so the crawler can be allowlisted or, conversely, filtered at the firewall level.
About Operational Bots
Monitoring, security scanning, link previews, webhooks, and feed fetchers: the utility traffic that keeps integrations and shared links working.
Most of this traffic is service-critical or user-triggered. Webhooks and previews don't follow robots.txt, and blocking them tends to break things you rely on.
