We noticed this bot was crawling/fetching app-ads.txt one of our dev sites.

::ffff:127.0.0.1 - - [17/Jul/2020:19:29:54 +0000] "GET /app-ads.txt HTTP/1.0" 404 - "-" "AdsTxtCrawler/1.0; +https://github.com/InteractiveAdvertisingBureau/adstxtcrawler"
  • Add instructions in the Readme on how to disallow the bot by adding an entry to your robots.txt
User-agent: AdsTxtCrawler
Disallow: /
  • Fetch the robots.txt and honour it if it has a disallow
