About AxonBot

AppLovin uses “AxonBot” to collect resources such as images and product metadata from advertiser websites. These help AppLovin improve the dynamic product ad 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 AppLovin has already been provided by advertisers 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)"

Whitelisting AxonBot

If your website uses security tools such as bot detection services, CDNs, or firewalls, we recommend whitelisting AxonBot to ensure uninterrupted access to product content.
To do so, configure your system to allow requests containing the AxonBot User-Agent:

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