CCBot is assigned to the AI category by BotScope. Detection is based on the user-agent string. Current pattern:
CCBot
AI training crawlers collect web content as training material for large language models. They bring no direct traffic — your content ends up in the model and influences future AI answers. Most honour robots.txt, some are more aggressive than search engine crawlers.
Once CCBot shows up in your logs, BotScope lets you analyze its crawl paths, status codes, IP distribution and temporal activity — by hour, day or week.
