Does gitea.com block AI crawlers?

Yes, 7 of 17. As of October 19, 2026, gitea.com's robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot and CCBot from the whole site. It keeps the other 10 out of parts of the site. 7 of them are named in a group of their own; the others follow its rules for every crawler.

It has no llms.txt (HTTP 404). Its homepage is 42,610 tokens of raw HTML, 1,056 as Markdown (2.5%) and 622 pruned for the question “What is gitea.com?”.

Each crawler, by its robots.txt rules

From https://gitea.com/robots.txt (1,889 bytes, 9 user-agent groups), parsed per RFC 9309. Blocked: no path allowed. Partly blocked: some paths disallowed. The rule counts are those of the groups that apply.

Read gitea.com through ContextFetch

GET /r/ returns a page as Markdown, with X-Raw-Tokens and X-Output-Tokens headers. Add ?q= and a question to get only the passages that answer it. No key needed for 25 requests a day; a free key has 2,500 credits. gitea.com's robots.txt partly blocks ContextFetchBot: our index and crawls skip what it disallows, and a page you ask for is fetched once on your behalf (see the bot page).
