What is Selectika AI?

Selectika AI is the crawler identity associated with Selectika, a fashion and lifestyle product-data platform. Cloudflare's verified-bot record points to Selectika's website and identifies the crawler as SelectikaScraper.

Selectika describes a computer-vision workflow that extracts product descriptions and assigns more than 20 data points to each item. The company says the enriched catalog data can be sent to product information systems, site search, Google Merchant Center, and shopping surfaces in services such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

The public crawler record is much narrower than that product description. It does not say what starts a crawl, which page or asset types SelectikaScraper requests, how often it returns, or whether it only visits sites connected to a Selectika customer. Access logs are the reliable source for those details on a particular site.

Selectika's published material connects its data enrichment to product discovery, including LLM shopping surfaces. It does not say that SelectikaScraper collects general web text to train a foundation model. A visit therefore should not be described as proof that a page entered AI training data or will appear in an unrelated AI answer.

Control is less certain than identity. This directory leaves robots.txt behavior unconfirmed, while Cloudflare's bot directory marks the bot as not following robots.txt. A rule for SelectikaScraper records the publisher's preference, but sites that require a firm block should also enforce it at the server, CDN, or firewall.

Cloudflare's bot directory records the full user agent as SelectikaScraper/1.0. It does not publish an HTTP signature directory for the bot, and this page does not mark Selectika traffic as IP verified. Since any client can copy a user agent, the token alone is not enough to justify bypassing security controls.

Relevant for AI search

Is Selectika AI relevant for AI search?

Yes. Selectika AI collects pages for an AI product, so what it can crawl influences how AI systems describe your brand.

Selectika AI fetches, indexes, or retrieves pages for an AI product, so the pages it can reach shape how that system describes your brand and products.

How to handle Selectika AI

If your fashion catalog is meant to take part in a Selectika workflow, confirm which public product paths the integration needs before restricting them. Sites with no relationship to the service can declare a full exclusion in robots.txt:

User-agent: SelectikaScraper
Disallow: /

Do not rely on that file as the only barrier. Cloudflare says Selectika AI does not follow robots.txt, and Selectika's public site does not document a crawler policy. Check whether requests continue after the rule is published, then use an application, CDN, or firewall rule if access must stop.

Do not allowlist a request solely because it contains SelectikaScraper/1.0. There is no published signature URL or IP verification record here. An existing Selectika customer should compare the request paths and timing with its configured catalog workflow.

Examples

  • A fashion retailer sees `SelectikaScraper/1.0` on product URLs and checks that the requests match its Selectika catalog integration before allowing them through a bot filter.
  • An unrelated publisher adds the `SelectikaScraper` disallow rule, then blocks continued requests at the CDN because robots.txt compliance is not documented.
  • A security team declines to create a broad IP allowlist because Selectika does not publish a signature directory or verified address range for this crawler.
