What is Facebook Crawler?

Facebot is the official web crawler operated by Facebook. Its primary function is to access and retrieve publicly available web content for use within the Facebook ecosystem. When a user shares a link on Facebook, Facebot visits the linked page to extract metadata such as titles, descriptions, images, and other Open Graph tags. This information is then used to generate rich link previews and enhance user experience on the platform. Additionally, Facebot helps Facebook index content for its social graph, ensuring that shared links display accurate and up-to-date information. Facebot respects standard web crawling protocols, such as robots.txt, allowing website owners to control its access to their content.
