About our crawler
EventAlertBot fetches public event pages so we can tell people when someone they follow is playing nearby.
Identifying ourselves
Our requests carry a user agent starting with EventAlertBot/
and this page's URL. We check robots.txt before every fetch
and honor what it says, including any Crawl-delay. The one
exception is OpenStreetMap's Nominatim geocoding API, which we call under
its published
usage policy rather than as a crawler: identified, cached, and paced
at no more than four lookups a minute.
What we don't do
We don't create accounts, accept clickwrap terms, or try to get around bot defenses. If a site blocks us, we stay blocked.
Want us to stop, or have a question?
Disallow EventAlertBot in your robots.txt and
we'll respect it on our next fetch, or reply to any email from us and a
person will read it.
