How to block access to the bot?

[jasa2]

I want to block access to the site to some bots, scrappers, but I don’t know how to do it. Can I simple put a htacess file ?

hi there, welcome.

you cannot use an .htaccess file as we do not provision a server for you in that way. Netlify is really only for modern static sites - more information on that here:

[Common Issue] Can I run a web server, HTTP listener, and/or database at Netlify?

How do I run a server/database at Netlify? We often get questions about how to run a specific backend server or database at Netlify. Examples of these types of questions include: How to I get my node HTTP listener to respond to requests? How do I start Mongo/MySQL/<insert-some-database-here> running on the server? How can I SSH into my website? We are here today to answer these questions - and the answer is: You can’t! What do you mean, I cannot run a server or database at Netlify?!…

that said, we you could explore redirects or access control to achieve what you are trying to do:
