WPBuildAI-NewsBot
The user agent that reads the sources behind this letter.
WPBuildAI-NewsBot/1.0 (+https://news-production-2090.up.railway.app/bot)
What it does
- Reads a fixed list of public feeds, APIs and pages, published here. It does not discover new sites by following links.
- Honours
robots.txt, includingCrawl-delay, and caches it for a day per host. - Makes at most one request a second to any host, uses conditional requests (ETag, Last-Modified), and stops at 3 MB per page.
- Stores titles, text and links for editorial use. It never stores images, and nothing it reads is republished in full: the letter links to the source.
Keeping it out
Add this to your robots.txt and the bot stops within a day:
