Access Control

Should I Block SputnikBot?

It's difficult to say without a type. Its purposes could either be good or bad for your website, depending on what it is.

Using Robots.txt

You can block SputnikBot 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
`SputnikBot`	Should match instances of SputnikBot

# robots.txt
# This should block SputnikBot

User-agent: SputnikBot
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.
