360Spider

360 Search's web crawler. 360's robots.txt help page lists 360Spider for web search, plus 360Spider-Image and 360Spider-Video.

What happens if you block it

Your site may drop out of 360 Search. 360 doesn't say whether its AI products use it.

Our take

Keep it if you want search traffic in China.

robots.txt

To block it:

User-agent: 360Spider
Disallow: /

To allow it explicitly (useful when a wider rule blocks other bots):

User-agent: 360Spider
Allow: /

robots.txt allows it, but is it really getting through?

A firewall or CDN rule can reject 360Spider even when robots.txt welcomes it, and nothing in your CMS shows it. Our check sends a live request as 360Spider alongside a normal browser and a Googlebot control, so a bot-verification rule isn't mistaken for a block.
