BingBot — What It Is and How to Handle It

bingbot is Microsoft's standard web crawler that handles most of Bing's crawling needs each day, indexing web content for Bing search results using both desktop and mobile variants.

Operator: Microsoft | Type: Search Engine | Category: Search Engine

BingBot is a search engine crawler. Blocking it may affect your visibility in its associated search engine. Most publishers choose to allow verified search engine crawlers.

Centinel automatically detects BingBot using behavioral fingerprinting. When detected, you can allow it, block it, challenge it with an interstitial page, or set a per-request licensing fee — all enforced in real-time with under 2ms latency.
