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.txtfirst and follows it, includingCrawl-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.
