How to block A360-Search

Three robots.txt options below. Pick the one that matches your goal. Each snippet lists every known A360-Search user-agent pattern so the rules apply regardless of which one the bot announces. Compliance with robots.txt is unconfirmed for A360-Search, so verify with crawl logs after deploying.

Edit robots.txt with care

A single misplaced line can de-index your entire site. Common mistake: pasting User-agent: * followed by Disallow: / blocks every bot, not just A360-Search, including Googlebot. Always paste the snippet between existing rules (not over them), keep the User-agent line scoped to A360-Search's patterns, and verify with Google's robots.txt tester before deploying. If you are not sure, ask a developer first.

Option 1: Block all access

Tells A360-Search not to crawl any URL on your site. Use this when you want the bot completely off your content.

User-agent: a360-search
User-agent: A360-Search
Disallow: /

Option 2: Block specific paths only

Keep public content crawlable but exclude sensitive or non-public sections. Add one Disallow: line per path. Replace the example paths with your own.

User-agent: a360-search
User-agent: A360-Search
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/
Disallow: /checkout/

Option 3: Slow down with a crawl delay

Crawl-delay is a voluntary directive that asks the bot to wait the given number of seconds between requests. Useful when A360-Search is hammering your origin and slowing the site down for real visitors, but you do not want to block it outright. The value is in seconds, so 10 means at most one request every ten seconds. Not all bots honour this directive (Googlebot ignores it; Bingbot, Yandex, and many AI crawlers do respect it).

User-agent: a360-search
User-agent: A360-Search
Crawl-delay: 10

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the User-Agent for A360-Search?

A360-Search identifies itself with the User-Agent string "a360-search" (alternate forms: A360-Search). Use this in robots.txt or server-side rules.

Is A360-Search safe to allow on my site?

The operator is not publicly documented for this bot. Review its activity in your logs and BotSights data before deciding.

Should I block A360-Search?

Depends on the value the bot provides versus its crawl load. Review activity first, then decide.

How do I block A360-Search?

Try robots.txt first ("User-agent: a360-search / Disallow: /") and verify with crawl logs whether the bot stops appearing.

How can I verify a request is really A360-Search?

User-Agent strings can be spoofed by malicious crawlers. Without published verification details, the User-Agent alone is not trustworthy — monitor source IPs and behavior patterns. BotSights flags spoofed traffic when verification data is available.
