How to verify Bytespider

ByteDance publishes no official IP list for Bytespider, so a request can't be verified by address. Treat the user agent as a claim, not proof.

Block or allow Bytespider in robots.txt

User-agent: Bytespider
Disallow: /

Use Allow: / instead to explicitly permit it, or build a full file with the AI robots.txt generator. robots.txt is a request, not a lock: it only works for bots that honor it, and only real Bytespider traffic would.
