What is Yahoo Link Preview Bot?

The 'yahoo-link-preview' bot is a web crawler operated by Yahoo, primarily designed to fetch and analyze web pages in order to generate link previews. When users share links on Yahoo services—such as Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger, or other Yahoo-owned platforms—this bot visits the linked web pages to retrieve metadata, images, and summaries. This information is then used to create a visual and textual preview of the link, enhancing the user experience by providing context about the destination page. The bot typically respects standard robots.txt directives and is focused on lightweight, non-intrusive crawling for preview generation rather than comprehensive indexing.
