Detection & Verification

Verification

Verify YandexPartner by matching `YandexPartner` to Yandex evidence, then checking reverse DNS, source-network ownership, signed request data, or published crawler documentation when available.

Detection Basis

YandexPartner traffic is primarily detected by the `YandexPartner` user-agent pattern; related patterns include `YandexPartner Yandex robot`; a representative HTTP user-agent is `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexPartner/1.0; +http://yandex.com/bots)`. Compare source IPs, reverse DNS, request paths, and crawl cadence with Yandex infrastructure before trusting the traffic.

Observed User-Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexPartner/1.0; +http://yandex.com/bots)

Spoofing Risk

YandexPartner has medium spoofing risk because the user-agent can be copied, even when the bot has strong source or documentation support.
