Bytespider — ByteDance/TikTok AI Crawler

최종 업데이트:

Definition

Bytespider is a web crawler operated by ByteDance (TikTok's parent company), used to collect AI training data and analyze content.

TL;DR

Bytespider is ByteDance's official crawler. It is presumed to power TikTok's AI recommendation system, search features, and the training of ByteDance's own LLMs. There have been reports of server load caused by its aggressive crawl frequency.

robots.txt Configuration

# Allow
User-agent: Bytespider
Allow: /

# Block
User-agent: Bytespider
Disallow: /

Allow vs. Block Decision Criteria

When allowing is favorable: When you want content exposure in TikTok search, or you want your content included in the ByteDance AI ecosystem.

When blocking is favorable: When you are concerned about server load, or you do not want to provide content for ByteDance/TikTok AI training. If server load is actually occurring, also consider rate limiting.
