Overview
ZoomInfo is a search crawler used for search indexing, URL discovery, page rendering, result freshness, and search-quality checks.
Its primary user-agent pattern is ZoominfoBot; a representative HTTP user-agent is ZoominfoBot (zoominfobot at zoominfo dot com).
ZoomInfo is Unverified at the identity-evidence level. The listed identity remains useful for detection, but this record does not currently contain authoritative evidence sufficient to authenticate the identity claim.
Robots.txt behavior is not currently confirmed.
ZoomInfo can usually be allowed after confirming the source and monitoring request volume.
