User-Agent

Feedwind

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

Verification and Detection

Verification method: Verify FeedWind Crawler by matching `Feedwind` to Mikle evidence, then checking reverse DNS, source-network ownership, signed request data, or published crawler documentation when available.

FeedWind Crawler traffic is primarily detected by the `Feedwind` user-agent pattern; related patterns include `Feedwind/`; a representative HTTP user-agent is `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Feedwind/3.0; +https://feed.mikle.com/support/description/)`. Compare source IPs, reverse DNS, request paths, and crawl cadence with Mikle infrastructure before trusting the traffic.

Handling Guidance

This bot is usually safe to allow when the request source is verified and its behavior matches the operator documentation and your site policy.
