Amazonbot crawls to support Amazon products and services including Alexa answers. It respects robots.txt and publishes a verifiable reverse-DNS footprint.
Amazon does not publish a machine-readable IP-range feed for Amazonbot. The reliable way to verify it is reverse DNS: a genuine Amazonbot request's IP reverse-resolves to amazonbot.amazon, crawl.amazonbot.amazon (and that hostname forward-resolves back to the same IP).
A User-Agent string is just a claim — anyone can send Amazonbot in a header. Confirm identity two ways:
forward-confirmed reverse DNS (the IP resolves to Amazon, and that host resolves back to the IP), and, where published,
an IP inside the operator's official ranges. If neither holds, it's an impostor wearing the badge — not Amazonbot.

Is Amazonbot really from Amazon?
Amazonbot is Amazon's crawler, but a User-Agent header can be spoofed, so the claim alone isn't proof. Confirm it with forward-confirmed reverse DNS and, where published, a match against Amazon's official IP ranges.
What are Amazonbot's IP ranges?
Amazon doesn't publish a machine-readable IP-range feed for Amazonbot. Verify it by reverse DNS instead: a genuine request reverse-resolves to amazonbot.amazon, crawl.amazonbot.amazon, and that host forward-resolves back to the same IP.
Should I block Amazonbot?
Our recommendation: keep. Feeds model training; blocking it can quietly remove you from future AI answers.
