Botservatory

Free and paid

Everything here is free today

Understanding bots should not sit behind a paywall, and it will not. A paid tier will come later for the work that is specific to your site and costs money to run. It does not exist yet, so there are no prices here.

Free, permanently

  • Every guide, the catalogue, the numbers and the ephemeris
  • The live record of this site's traffic
  • The robots.txt generator and single-address verifier
  • The public catalogue API, rate limited

Planned, paid

  • Monitoring your own sites, with every bot verified
  • Alerts for new crawlers, spoofing spikes and accidental blocks
  • Long-term history and exports
  • Higher API limits, bulk verification and multi-site reports

Want this for your own site?

Leave an address and you will hear once when monitoring opens. We will use it for nothing else.
