PolietyBot
The crawler behind Poliety Concierge: what it fetches, why, and how to control it.
What it is
PolietyBot fetches public web pages to build source-grounded knowledge bases for Poliety Concierge customers. It crawls a domain only after the domain's owner has verified control of it and asked for the crawl. It is not a search engine spider and does not roam the open web.
How it behaves
- User-agent:
PolietyBot/1.0 (+https://poliety.com/bot) - Respects
robots.txtby default. A customer may override it only for a domain they have verified they own. - Paces requests per host and honors a bounded page budget per crawl.
- Fetches over HTTPS where available, follows a limited number of redirects, and never executes page JavaScript.
- Stores fetched content with a content hash so customers can see exactly which version of a page a fact came from.
How to block it
Add this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: PolietyBot
Disallow: /
Status
Concierge is in build and PolietyBot is not yet crawling anyone. This page exists ahead of the first crawl so the user-agent string always resolves to an explanation.
