What is Bingbot?

Bingbot is the official web crawler operated by Microsoft for its Bing search engine. Its main function is to systematically browse the internet, retrieving web pages and other online resources to build and update Bing's search index. Bingbot identifies itself via its user agent string, typically containing 'bingbot', when accessing websites. Website administrators can manage Bingbot's behavior using the robots.txt protocol, allowing them to control which parts of their site are crawled or excluded. Bingbot plays a crucial role in ensuring that Bing's search results are comprehensive, up-to-date, and relevant for users. It is designed to be efficient and respectful of website resources, adhering to standard web crawling best practices. Bingbot is comparable to other major search engine crawlers, such as Googlebot, and is a well-known and widely recognized web crawler in the industry.
