User-agent strings are identity signals, not proof of identity. Confirm the source and behavior before trusting a request.

Verification method: Verify FeedOtter by matching `FeedOtter` to a public crawler reference or source-linked documentation, then checking reverse DNS, IP ownership, request behavior, and crawl consistency.

FeedOtter traffic is primarily detected by the `FeedOtter` user-agent pattern; related patterns include `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; FeedOtter/2.1; +http://www.feedotter.com/privacy) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36`; a representative HTTP user-agent is `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; FeedOtter/2.1; +http://www.feedotter.com/privacy) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36`. Compare source IPs, reverse DNS, request paths, and crawl cadence before trusting the traffic.

Use this record as identity context. Verify the request source, behavior, and relevance to your site before allowing or restricting traffic.
