 * What are Fetch API Request’s? I’m seeing a lot of these and I doubt they are 
   legitimate users.
 * Could they be spam related?
 * Should I block them?
 * Thanks.

 * I was advised by other bloggers to block it with this code in htaccess:
 * RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (Fetch\ API\ Request) RewriteRule.*–[
   F,L]
 * It’s working well.
 * Someone else recommended some untested code:
 * SetEnvIf User-Agent “Fetch\ API\ Request$” badrobot
 *  <Directory />
    order deny,allow deny from env=badrobot </Directory>
