Useful facts
- Cloudflare's pay per crawl is in closed beta. The page points to a signup page, and Enterprise customers can contact their account executive. developers.cloudflare.com
- A crawler that does not pay receives an HTTP 402 Payment Required answer that includes the price. A crawler that sends its payment intent in the request headers gets a normal answer, HTTP 200. developers.cloudflare.com
- The site owner sets the price. The Cloudflare post describes a flat price per request across the whole site, and the owner can let chosen crawlers in free of charge. blog.cloudflare.com
- Cloudflare acts as the Merchant of Record for pay per crawl. A WAF or Bot Management rule that blocks a crawler overrides the charge, so that crawler gets no access. developers.cloudflare.com
- Cloudflare's AI Crawl Control shows which AI services access a site, sets allow or block rules for individual crawlers, and tracks robots.txt compliance. It works on all Cloudflare plans. developers.cloudflare.com
