What is SkroutzBot?
About
SkroutzBot is a specialized web crawler used by Skroutz to download XML data feeds, product images, and sample product pages from merchant websites for quality control and product catalog management. You can see how often SkroutzBot visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
Fetchers visit websites on-demand. They're normally dispatched by apps to present metadata about a link (e.g. the title and thumbnail image) to a user.

Should I Block SkroutzBot?
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.
How Do I Block SkroutzBot?
You can block SkroutzBot or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.
