Metorik is a bot in the webhook senders category, operated by Metorik.
Analytics and email automation service used by eCommerce businesses. Metorik syncs data from customer sites by making API requests to their sites.
Webhook senders call your endpoints to deliver events from payment, messaging and SaaS platforms. Blocking them breaks integrations. Allow them on the webhook paths they need and nowhere else.
Metorik identifies itself with this user agent string:
Metorik API Client/2.0.1Anyone 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.
We have not confirmed whether Metorik follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.
User-agent: Metorik Disallow: /
User-agent: Metorik Disallow: /private/ Disallow: /search
User-agent: Metorik Allow: /blog/ Disallow: /
User-agent: Metorik Allow: / User-agent: * Disallow: /
User-agent: Metorik group, Metorik ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.Metorik from Metorik's user agent; check Metorik'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.
Allow Metorik if it is a service you use, and keep its visits out of page views and ad requests either way.
Transfon Security for publishersMetorik is not a person. Exclude it from campaign and conversion data so reports reflect real visitors.
Transfon Security for advertisersAllow Metorik only if it works for your store, and keep it away from cart and checkout.
Transfon Security for e-commerceIf Metorik is a service you use, allow it on the endpoints it needs and block it elsewhere.
Transfon Security for SaaS and APIsrobots.txt is a request, not an enforcement. Transfon Security shows Metorik 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.

Metorik is a bot in the webhook senders category, operated by Metorik. Analytics and email automation service used by eCommerce businesses. Metorik syncs data from customer sites by making API requests to their sites.
We have not confirmed whether Metorik follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.
Add "User-agent: Metorik" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "Metorik" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so Metorik may not follow it, and anyone can send Metorik's user agent, so a fake Metorik ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
Webhook senders call your endpoints to deliver events from payment, messaging and SaaS platforms. Blocking them breaks integrations. Allow them on the webhook paths they need and nowhere else.
Transfon Security identifies every bot in this directory in your traffic reports, flags fake search crawlers, and lets you allow, block or rate limit each bot.
