Scraper

Downloads web content for possibly malicious purposes

Due to the wide variety of use cases, there's no way to accurately predict visitation behavior. Scrapers are notorious for ignoring robots.txt rules and accessing disallowed content. This is especially true if they're dispatched to achieve a specific goal rather than for some general purpose.

Access Control

Should I Block newspaper?

Probably. Scrapers usually download publicly available internet content, which is freely accessible by default. However, you might want to block them if you don't want your content to be used for unauthorized purposes.

Using Robots.txt

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

You can block newspaper or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt.

# robots.txt
# This should block newspaper

User-agent: newspaper
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.
