AI crawler access
for codecademy.com
codecademy.com permits all fifteen tracked AI crawlers. Nothing in its robots.txt restricts training, search indexing or on-demand fetching by the operators tracked here.
That is exactly the median across the 381 sites in this dataset. Resolved from https://codecademy.com/robots.txt on 13 August 2026.
Every crawler, and the rule that decided it
A crawler named directly in its own group is governed by that group. One not named falls back to the wildcard group. Where neither exists the crawler is reported as not listed — no policy has been expressed, and in practice most crawlers will proceed.

What this does and does not tell you
It tells you what codecademy.com states in its robots.txt, which is the file every well-behaved AI crawler consults before fetching. It is a stated preference and a voluntary protocol — not an access control, and not evidence about what any crawler actually did.
It also says nothing about whether the content is useful to an answer engine once fetched. Access is the precondition; extractable passages, visible dates, named authorship and sourced claims decide whether a reachable page is actually cited. That second layer is what the free evidence-readiness report measures.
Finally, robots.txt changes. This page reflects codecademy.com as it was on 13 August 2026. To see the position right now, run it through the live crawler access checker.

If the result is not what you intended, the robots.txt policy builder composes a corrected block, and how to get cited by ChatGPT explains why blocking GPTBot alone does not remove you from ChatGPT answers.
