Anthropicâs Crawler Ignoring Anti-AI Scraping Policies
Hey @AnthropicAI: I get you’re hungry for data. Claude is really smart! But do you really need to hit our servers a million times in 24 hours?
You’re not only taking our content without paying, you’re tying up our devops resources. Not cool.
â Kyle Wiens (@kwiens) July 24, 2024
The ClaudeBot crawler has been hitting websites like iFixit with an overwhelming number of requests, violating their terms of use and causing server strain.
iFixitâs CEO Kyle Wiens reported that ClaudeBot accessed the site nearly a million times in 24 hours, despite clear prohibitions in iFixitâs Terms of Use against using their content for AI training.
Anthropic responded by pointing to their FAQ, which claims compliance with robots.txt file exclusions. However, this method offers limited control for website owners.
