About this crawler
Robots token controlling whether Apple may use Applebot crawls for AI.
Usually means: This is a robots.txt token, not a separate HTTP crawler. It tells Apple how already-crawled content may be used.
User agent
Applebot-Extended
Trfyx matches these as user-agent tokens, not full browser strings. Providers may add surrounding version or product text.
How Trfyx matches
Controlled as a robots.txt token
Applebot-Extended is not its own HTTP crawler. Trfyx files it next to Apple’s live bots so you can see the published opt-out.
User agent
Published as the Applebot-Extended robots token.
Server fetch
Recorded in middleware, not the browser script.
robots.txt
This token is the opt-out.
