About ClimoBot

ClimoBot is the crawler behind Climo. It reads a small number of public pages on behalf of people who track their market.

How to recognise it

Every request carries this user agent:

ClimoBot/1.0 (+https://tryclimo.com/bot)

How it behaves

  • It only requests public pages over HTTP or HTTPS. It never logs in, submits forms or runs checkouts.
  • It reads and respects robots.txt, which it caches for up to 24 hours per domain.
  • It makes at most one request per second per domain, and usually far fewer: most pages are checked once a day or once a week.
  • It backs off when it receives 403 or 429 responses, and stops checking pages that keep failing.
  • It downloads at most 2 MB per page and only HTML or text.

How to opt out

Add this to your robots.txt and ClimoBot will stop fetching your site within 24 hours:

User-agent: ClimoBot
Disallow: /
