Orature
GoodBotVerifiedBOTOrature is a web crawler designed to index content for search or data aggregation purposes.
What is Orature?
Orature is an automated web crawler that traverses websites to collect and index content. While it identifies as a search engine crawler, it lacks the widespread recognition or transparent documentation associated with major industry players like Googlebot or Bingbot. Its presence in server logs typically indicates an attempt to map or extract information from a site's public-facing pages.

Why it crawls your site
The bot crawls websites to build a database of information, likely for search indexing or content analysis. Because the operator is not clearly identified in major bot registries, site owners should monitor its request frequency and adherence to robots.txt directives. Verification can be attempted by checking the reverse DNS of the originating IP addresses to see if they resolve to a legitimate organization.
Block or allow Orature
Add a Disallow rule for Orature in your robots.txt file. You can also block at the server level using your web server configuration or CDN firewall rules to filter requests matching the user-agent string.
# Block Orature from crawling your entire site User-agent: Orature Disallow: / # Allow Orature full access User-agent: Orature Allow: /
Ensure your robots.txt allows Orature. Verify requests by checking the user-agent string.
