JobicyBot is a bot in the search engine crawlers category, operated by Jobicy.
JobicyBot monitors and verifies job listings
Search engine crawlers index your pages so they can appear in search results. Keep the genuine ones allowed and verify them, because fake search crawlers are one of the most common disguises for scrapers.
JobicyBot identifies itself with this user agent string:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; JobicyBot/2.0; +https://jobi.cy/robot)Anyone can copy a user agent string. Transfon Security also checks where each request comes from, so a request that claims to be a known crawler but comes from the wrong network is treated as a fake, not as the real crawler.
JobicyBot follows robots.txt, so these rules stop it crawling the paths you choose. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.
User-agent: JobicyBot Disallow: /
User-agent: JobicyBot Disallow: /private/ Disallow: /search
User-agent: JobicyBot Allow: /blog/ Disallow: /
User-agent: JobicyBot Allow: / User-agent: * Disallow: /
User-agent: JobicyBot group, JobicyBot ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.JobicyBot from JobicyBot's user agent; check Jobicy's own documentation if it publishes a different robots.txt name.Treat robots.txt as a statement of your policy, and enforce it where requests arrive.
JobicyBot brings search traffic, so keep the real one allowed. Fake JobicyBot requests are a common cover for scrapers, so verify it by network rather than by name.
Transfon Security for publishersSearch crawlers fetch landing pages to check them. Keep JobicyBot allowed, but out of campaign and conversion data.
Transfon Security for advertisersJobicyBot indexes products for search results. Allow it, and block impersonators that use its name to scrape prices.
Transfon Security for e-commerceAllow JobicyBot on marketing and docs pages, and keep it off signed-in app pages it cannot use.
Transfon Security for SaaS and APIsrobots.txt is a request, not an enforcement. Transfon Security shows JobicyBot by name in the Top Bots report, so you can see how often it visits and which pages it reads. Block or allow it with a User Agent rule, or slow it down with a rate limit decision rule.

Yes. JobicyBot follows robots.txt, so a Disallow rule for the JobicyBot user agent stops it from crawling the paths you list.
Add "User-agent: JobicyBot" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "JobicyBot" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so JobicyBot may not follow it, and anyone can send JobicyBot's user agent, so a fake JobicyBot ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
