Crawler Catalog

Every crawler Centinel knows, what it does, and the checks that prove the request is really it.

This page lists the whole crawler catalog and the checks that apply to each entry.

Overview

An entry has a name, an operator, a type, and a row of badges. The badges say which checks Centinel runs on a request that claims to be this crawler.

A user agent proves nothing; anyone can send any string. The other three badges are checks on where the request came from. Most entries have none of them, so Centinel names the crawler and leaves the source unconfirmed.

What the badges mean

  • User agent: the request calls itself this crawler.
  • Web bot auth: the crawler signs its requests, and Centinel checks the signature against the operator's key.
  • IP ranges: the operator publishes the addresses it crawls from, and Centinel checks the client address against that list.
  • Reverse DNS: the client address resolves to a hostname the operator controls, and that hostname resolves back to the same address.

The values behind a badge stay off the page. Match tokens, verification domains, and range feeds read as an impersonation recipe once they sit next to each other.

What verification changes

The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. Policy rules match on the crawler category, so search engines can pass while AI training crawlers are blocked. See Policy rules.

The catalog

Search by name, operator, or description. The type and method filters narrow the list. No source check collects the entries that carry only a user-agent badge. Open a name for that crawler's own page.

RSL marks the category used for licensing rules: search, ai-train, ai-input, or ai-all. An entry with no RSL badge carries the default, all.
