What it is

The Backlink Audit crawler. It re-checks links pointing at a customer's site, which means it lands on the sites doing the linking.

What blocking it costs you

None to you. It costs the site being audited a little accuracy in their backlink report.

/tools/verification-methods?crawler=semrushbot-ba
How do I prove a request really is SemrushBot-BA? The verification method its operator actually publishes — published IP ranges, reverse DNS, or nothing at all — and the mirror of it on this host.

Every parameter above is a value the endpoint reads, not an address it visits: nothing is fetched on your behalf. Called without any parameter, each endpoint returns its own specification instead of an error. All of them.
