+Our Ethical Web Crawler
+ + +About Our Web Crawler
+Our team uses an ethical web crawler for research and development on the open web. We believe in responsible data collection that respects website owners and follows industry best practices.
+ +User Agent
+Our crawler identifies itself with the following user agent:
+uncloseai.com/1.42 (ethical web crawler; +https://uncloseai.com)
+ This clearly identifies who we are and provides a link back to this page for more information.
+ +What We Do
+Our crawler is used by our AI systems to:
+-
+
- Answer questions - When users ask about websites or specific information, our bot can fetch and analyze web content to provide accurate answers +
- Research & development - We study how information is structured on the web to improve our AI models and tools +
- Content aggregation - We help users discover and understand information across multiple web pages +
Our Ethical Practices
+We follow strict ethical guidelines to ensure we're good web citizens:
+ +1. Robots.txt Compliance
+We always respect robots.txt files. If your site's robots.txt disallows our crawler, we won't access those pages.
+# Example: Block our crawler from specific paths
+User-agent: uncloseai.com
+Disallow: /private/
+Disallow: /admin/
+
+ 2. Crawl Delays
+We respect crawl delays specified in robots.txt. Our default is 2 seconds between requests to the same domain, but we'll honor any delay you specify:
+# Example: Set custom crawl delay
+User-agent: uncloseai.com
+Crawl-delay: 5
+
+ 3. Intelligent Caching
+We cache fetched content for 7 days by default. This means:
+-
+
- We won't repeatedly hit your server for the same content +
- Reduces load on your infrastructure +
- Faster responses for our users +
4. Smart Depth Crawling
+We use intelligent depth-based crawling:
+-
+
- Depth 0 - Just the homepage +
- Depth 1 - Homepage plus directly linked pages +
- Depth 2 - Goes two levels deep when needed +
Our crawler automatically decides how deep to go based on whether it found relevant information, so we don't waste resources fetching unnecessary pages.
+ +5. Query-Aware Relevance
+We score pages based on relevance to the user's question, prioritizing:
+-
+
- Pages that contain keywords from the user's query +
- Clean, readable URLs over dynamic query strings +
- Pages with substantial, unique content +
- Descriptive titles that match the topic +
Transparency
+We believe in being open about our crawling practices:
+-
+
- Clear identification - Our user agent clearly identifies us +
- Contact information - This page provides details on how to reach us +
- Open source approach - Our crawler follows public best practices +
- No stealth crawling - We never hide our identity or bypass restrictions +
How to Block Our Crawler
+If you don't want our crawler accessing your site, you can block it using robots.txt:
+# Block uncloseai.com crawler entirely
+User-agent: uncloseai.com
+Disallow: /
+ Or use your server's firewall/WAF to block our user agent string.
