Sites that block Scrapy
618 of the 26,380 domains we have measured, 2%, disallow scrapy at the site root in robots.txt. Scrapy collects content that may be used to train a model.
Every domain here has withheld its content from Zyte (open-source framework)'s training crawl. That is a separate decision from appearing in the operator's answers, which is governed by a different token.
618 of 26,380 measured domains (2%) disallow scrapy at the site root in robots.txt. Every domain named on this page was fetched directly and its robots.txt parsed against RFC 9309; none of it is inferred from a third-party index.

The list 618 domains
Rank is the domain's position in the popularity list used to seed the corpus; a dash means it was scanned on request rather than seeded. Score is the site's overall AI access score, which blocking depresses but does not by itself determine.
