About AxonBot

AppLovin uses “AxonBot” to collect resources such as images and product metadata from advertiser websites. These help AppLovin improve the dynamic catalog experience for users by presenting up-to-date images and product information.

AxonBot is not a general-purpose web crawler. It does not perform broad site crawling or discover URLs on its own. It only accesses URLs that advertisers provide to AppLovin through integrations such as:

  • Product feeds
  • Pixel events
  • Catalog uploads
  • API submissions

You can identify the requests that AxonBot makes to your website by looking for the following User-Agent request header in those requests:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AxonBot/1.0; +https://www.applovin.com)

Or, as this will appear in a typical web server log:

123.45.67.89 - - [14/Jul/2025:12:34:56 +0000] "GET /products/p9876543.html HTTP/1.1" 200 1043 "" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AxonBot/1.0; +https://www.applovin.com)"
