Its primary user-agent pattern is Robinbot; related patterns include Robinbot/1.0; Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Robinbot/1.0; +https://www.robin.education) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36; a representative HTTP user-agent is Robinbot/1.0 Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Robinbot/1.0; +https://www.robin.education) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36.
Robinbot is verified with Medium confidence. The identity type is Verified Bot, and the evidence basis is a public crawler reference or source-linked documentation.
Robinbot is marked as not reliably governed by robots.txt directives; use server-side rules if the traffic should be restricted.
Robinbot should be reviewed against site policy, source evidence, crawl rate, and requested paths before a permanent allow or block rule is created.
Robinbot belongs to the Robin bot family.
