How to identify Arquivo-web-crawler

How to block Arquivo-web-crawler

Three robots.txt options below. Pick the one that matches your goal. Each snippet lists every known Arquivo-web-crawler user-agent pattern so the rules apply regardless of which one the bot announces. Compliance with robots.txt is unconfirmed for Arquivo-web-crawler, 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 Arquivo-web-crawler, including Googlebot. Always paste the snippet between existing rules (not over them), keep the User-agent line scoped to Arquivo-web-crawler'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 Arquivo-web-crawler not to crawl any URL on your site. Use this when you want the bot completely off your content.

User-agent: Arquivo-web-crawler
User-agent: arquivo-web-crawler
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: Arquivo-web-crawler
User-agent: arquivo-web-crawler
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 Arquivo-web-crawler 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: Arquivo-web-crawler
User-agent: arquivo-web-crawler
Crawl-delay: 10

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the User-Agent for Arquivo-web-crawler?

Arquivo-web-crawler identifies itself with the User-Agent string "Arquivo-web-crawler" (alternate forms: arquivo-web-crawler). Use this in robots.txt or server-side rules.

Is Arquivo-web-crawler safe to allow on my site?

The operator is not publicly documented for this bot. Web archivers preserve content for historical access (Wayback Machine, etc.) and are usually beneficial.

Should I block Arquivo-web-crawler?

Usually no — archivers like the Wayback Machine preserve your content for historical reference, which is generally beneficial.

How do I block Arquivo-web-crawler?

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

How can I verify a request is really Arquivo-web-crawler?

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.
