# Check if e-commerce sites allow AI shopping crawlers

**Use case:** 

See whether Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Shopify and IKEA let ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI crawlers read their pages. Each site gets a verdict, blocked and allowed bot lists and an AI search score, which is useful before you rely on AI shopping assistants to surface your products.

## Input

```json
{
  "websites": [

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/tidytools/ai-crawler-access-checker.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
