PepFinderBot

The crawler that keeps supplier profiles and prices on PepFinder up to date.

It identifies itself as PepFinderBot/1.0 (+https://pepfinder.com/about/bot).

What it reads

  • Public pages of stores that sell research peptides: the homepage, product pages and policy pages (shipping, returns, terms, contact).
  • Public product data the store already publishes for machines: its platform’s product feed, schema.org product data, and the product data its own pages load. Prices are taken only from that data.
  • Some stores only show products once their JavaScript runs. For those it opens the page in a headless browser, without images, fonts or video, and reads the same public product data.

How it behaves

  • It reads robots.txt first and follows it, including Crawl-delay. Paths it is asked not to visit are not requested, by the crawler or by a page it opens.
  • It reads one page at a time per site, at least two seconds apart.
  • It never signs in, fills in forms, adds to a basket or buys anything.
  • It stops at the first bot check or CAPTCHA and does not try to get past it.

Limiting or blocking it

Add a group for PepFinderBot to your robots.txt. To keep it out entirely:

User-agent: PepFinderBot
Disallow: /

Store owners can also claim their profile and keep it up to date themselves.
