Guidelines
- api
- A developer who calls the web search tool can limit it with allowed_domains or keep sites out with excluded_domains, up to 5 domains each. The two settings cannot be combined in one request. These are caller settings, not publisher controls.[1]
What could not be verified?
These claims about Grok came up in the research, but no page that could be read confirms them. They are kept apart, and nothing above rests on them.
xAI publishes a crawler user agent token and a robots.txt policy for Grok.
Why it is open: No primary page found. Third-party bot directories disagree with each other and were not used as a source.
How it was checked
Read the xAI web search guide[1] and ran one web search for an official xAI crawler or publisher page. No first-party page was found.
