Amazon · User fetches

# What is Amzn-User?

Amazon's user-triggered fetcher, which retrieves pages live when a user's request needs them.

- **robots.txt token**: `Amzn-User`
- **Operator**: Amazon
- **Purpose**: User fetches
- **Obeys robots.txt**: The operator says robots.txt may not apply, or community reports say it ignores it.
- **Documented by operator**: Yes, on the operator's own pages.
- **Published IP list**: [developer.amazon.com/amazonbot/live-ip-addresses/](https://developer.amazon.com/amazonbot/live-ip-addresses/)
- **Documentation**: [developer.amazon.com](https://developer.amazon.com/amazonbot)

Amazon says it may not follow all robots.txt rules, but it publishes a separate IP list you can filter on.

## Block Amzn-User from your whole site

`robots.txt`

```
User-agent: Amzn-User
Disallow: /
```

## Allow it, but keep private paths out

`robots.txt`

```
User-agent: Amzn-User
Allow: /
Disallow: /admin/
```

This bot fetches pages for a person, or for an agent acting on one's behalf. Several operators say robots.txt may not apply to such requests, so check the line above and enforce at your firewall if it matters.
