Some of our API results are appearing in search results. Additionally, because we use Google to power our in-site search, many of the API results area also appearing there. See the screenshots below.

This post prevents a few solutions: http://yoast.com/x-robots-tag-play/ We need to decide if we want to do this with .htaccess headers or python headers

Mentioned this in IRC. The article only mentions Google and Yahoo supporting this. Do we care about other search engines, like Bing? Jean-Yvves: Thoughts?

Bing supports REP: the robots.txt, the <meta> values and the X-Robot-Tag are all supported: http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/webmaster/archive/2008/06/03/robots-exclusion-protocol-joining-together-to-provide-better-documentation.aspx For .htaccess or python headers, I have no direct opinion. Note that we probably want to edit the .htaccess anyway to put Cache-Control/Expires headers for images (for another reason)…

FWIW, we blogged about the HTML5 ?raw URL, which is probably where Google found it: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/08/kuma-cool-url-tricks/

Also, this turns up only 19 results, maybe not that big a deal? https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adeveloper.mozilla.org+inurl%3Araw

That said, a quick fix is probably to just send this header out when ?raw is present: X-Robots-Tag: noindex https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_meta_tag
