Identification
Its full user-agent string, exactly as it arrives at the gate:
OK publishes the fetcher’s IP ranges at https://apiok.ru/res/files/ips.json. The zoo doesn't check that list yet, so visits are filed by their user agent. Read OK (Odnoklassniki)'s documentation.
OK (Odnoklassniki) signs its requests, but the zoo doesn't check signatures yet, so every visit filed here is taken at its word for now.
How to block OdklBot
Add these two lines to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. Well-behaved crawlers read it before they crawl, so the change applies from OdklBot's next visit. Nothing else on your site needs to change.
# Block OdklBot from the whole site User-agent: OdklBot Disallow: /
Or let it visit but keep it away from part of the site:
# Let it in, but keep it out of one room User-agent: OdklBot Allow: / Disallow: /members/

Questions site owners ask
Does OdklBot respect robots.txt?
We can't say yet. It has not fetched robots.txt here, and it has not touched a disallowed page either.
Will blocking OdklBot hurt my search rankings?
No. But links to your site will be shared without a title or preview image, which tends to get fewer clicks.
How often does OdklBot visit?
Here, about 0 requests a day over the last week. Visits to your site depend on its size, how often it changes, and how many links point to it.
