The only way to prevent crawlers from scraping your content is to make it unavailable to them. I am not suggesting any clever application or code trick. When I say unavailable I mean a separate network. Network isolation is ideal but there is also VPN intranet.
You cannot have both public access content and yet limit it to limited parties at your discretion. The content is either public or it’s not and obfuscation, even via authentication, is not a security solution. The role of authentication is not to limit access but to segment access such that account specific content is not intermingled between accounts.
