Does douyin.com block AI crawlers?
Partly. As of October 19, 2026, douyin.com's robots.txt blocks none of the 17 AI crawlers we check from the whole site, but keeps 7 out of parts of it and allows 10 everywhere. 7 of them are named in a group of their own; the others follow no group.
It has no llms.txt (HTTP 404). Its homepage is 18,229 tokens of raw HTML; our extractor, which does not run JavaScript, found no text in it.
