# Bot rules: # 1. A bot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. # 2. A bot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. # 3. A bot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. # If you can read this then you should apply here https://www.bloomberg.com/careers/ User-agent: * Disallow: /polska Allow: /account/newsletters Disallow: /account/* Disallow: /tosv*.html Disallow: /search Disallow: /company/search/ Disallow: /professional/search/ Disallow: /impact/search/ Disallow: /ux/search/ Disallow: /wnwi/search/ Disallow: /gei/search/ Disallow: /impact/search/ Disallow: /netzeropathfinders/search/ Disallow: /notices/search/ Disallow: /distribution/search/ Disallow: /ukinnovators/search/ Disallow: /latam/search/ Disallow: /faq/search/ Disallow: /tc/search/ Disallow: /subscriptions/group/manage/ Disallow: /preview/lineup Disallow: /preview/articles Disallow: /explore/ Disallow: /press-releases/ Disallow: /artemis/ Disallow: /sessions-publisher/ User-agent: Google-Extended Disallow: / Allow: /professional Allow: /company Allow: /latam Allow: /faq Allow: /tc User-agent: Mediapartners-Google Disallow: /about/careers Disallow: /about/careers/ Disallow: /offlinemessage/ Disallow: /apps/fbk Disallow: /bb/newsarchive/ Disallow: /apps/news User-agent: Spinn3r Disallow: /podcasts/ Disallow: /feed/podcast/ Disallow: /bb/avfile/ User-agent: Googlebot-News Disallow: /sponsor/ Disallow: /news/sponsors/* Disallow: /news/terminal/* User-agent: Twitterbot Allow: /en/news/thp User-agent: CCBot Disallow: / # Development Tools User-agent: Python-urllib User-agent: python-requests User-agent: Python-http-client Disallow: / # AI/LLM Bots User-agent: Claude-Web User-agent: anthropic-ai User-agent: PerplexityBot User-agent: YouBot User-agent: DuckAssistBot Disallow: / Allow: /professional Allow: /company Allow: /latam Allow: /faq Allow: /tc User-agent: cohere-ai Disallow: / # AI/LLM Bots - Homepage Access # Homepage and regional homepages only.
