Fetches web content on behalf of an app

Access Control

Should I Block Iframely?

Probably not. If you block a fetcher, it won't be able to fetch the metadata it needs to display a link preview. Fewer people will click on the link to your website without this.

Using Robots.txt

You can block Iframely or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. We recommend setting up agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

User Agent Token	Description
`Iframely`	Should match instances of Iframely

# robots.txt
# This should block Iframely

User-agent: Iframely
Disallow: /

Instead of doing this manually, you can use the API or Wordpress plugin to keep your robots.txt updated with the latest known AI scrapers, crawlers, and assistants automatically.
