Overview
Iframely is a web scraper used for public web data collection, page extraction, content monitoring, and third-party crawler activity.
Its primary user-agent pattern is https://iframely.com/docs/about; a representative HTTP user-agent is Iframely/1.3.1 (+https://iframely.com/docs/about).
Iframely is verified with Medium confidence. The identity type is Verified Bot, and the evidence basis is a public crawler reference or source-linked documentation.
Iframely is marked as not reliably governed by robots.txt directives; use server-side rules if the traffic should be restricted.
Iframely should be reviewed against site policy, source evidence, crawl rate, and requested paths before a permanent allow or block rule is created.
