Frequently Asked Questions

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, Meta, and other model providers send dozens of crawlers across the web daily. Without observability, you cannot tell which products and articles are being indexed by AI search engines, which published pages have received zero AI visits in the last 30 days, or whether training scrapers are harvesting your original work. Kanorio monitors 35 crawlers across 18 operators so you can turn black-box bot traffic into clear decisions.

Training crawlers (like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot) scrape content to train foundation models without necessarily citing your site; Retrieval crawlers (like OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot) fetch pages to answer live user prompts with source links. We recommend keeping Retrieval bots open to earn AI search citations and referral visits while blocking Training bots if you wish to protect original IP.

A standard robots.txt file is only a voluntary notice. When you block an AI bot in Kanorio, the system updates /robots.txt and also returns HTTP 403 at the global Edge to crawlers identifying as that bot, so they don't receive your page content; crawlers that hide their name can't be identified this way. On hosted sites, Kanorio also checks every hit against the official IP ranges (CIDR) and ASN prefixes that AI providers publish, synced daily, and labels it Verified or Spoofed; hits reported from external frontends are marked Unverifiable.

No. Core search engine indexing crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot) are always allowed and can't be blocked, and they're handled separately from AI training control tokens (like Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended). No AI blocking rule will stop Google or Bing from indexing your pages, and human visitors are never affected.

Mount createKanorioMiddleware from @kanorio/sdk/edge in your frontend middleware. It syncs your latest blockedTokens and 301 redirects from the Delivery API (/api/v1/site) every 60 seconds, enforces HTTP 403 at the edge, and reports hits asynchronously via waitUntil to POST /api/v1/analytics/bot-hit — no frontend redeployment needed when you change rules.

It is included free on every plan (including the permanently Free plan). In the dashboard, you can select any historical period (up to 90 days per query) to inspect permanently stored bot totals, rankings, and per-page intent rollups. Via MCP or the Management API (analytics.bots), you can query up to 10 years (3,650 days) of totals and per-page intent rollups (breakdown='page'), or query 90-day per-page × per-bot rollups (breakdown='page_bot') with cursor pagination.
