The Complete List of AI Crawlers You Should Block in 2026

AI crawlers are multiplying rapidly, and many operate silently. Here is an updated list of AI bots scraping websites globally:

Major AI Crawlers

  • GPTBot (OpenAI)
  • ClaudeBot (Anthropic)
  • PerplexityBot / CCBot
  • Google-Extended (Google AI)
  • Facebook AI Crawler
  • AmazonBot AI
  • AppleBot AI Research
  • And new crawlers appear monthly.

    How to Block All of Them at Once

    Instead of managing dozens of evolving bots, AI Crawler Guard automatically:

  • Detects
  • Blocks
  • Logs
  • Updates
  • …every AI bot without manual work.

    This saves countless hours and prevents unknown crawlers from stealing content.
