Dataset builders
omgili is a bot operated by Webz.io that crawls pages into a dataset that may be reused or shared with third parties. omgili crawls sites for Webz.io, which provides web data feeds used by monitoring and analytics companies and licensed for uses that can include research and LLM training. It is documented as honouring robots.txt, but no IP range list or reverse-DNS convention is published, so a request carrying this user agent cannot be proven genuine.

Yes. The operator documents that omgili reads robots.txt and follows Disallow rules for its own token. Rules take effect on the next fetch of the file, which can be hours or days after you publish them.
You cannot, at least not from the request itself. Webz.io offers its crawl output as licensed data feeds, so blocking it limits future collection of your pages. No published address list. Compare the source IP against hosting and datacenter ranges instead, and rate limit anything that behaves like a crawler.
Add these user-agent tokens (omgili, omgilibot) to robots.txt with Disallow: /. If the crawler ignores robots.txt, match the user agent at your CDN or reverse proxy and return 403 there instead.
