If you run a bot, point it at this site and get a report card: what it read, which rules it kept, and how it did at each place.
- Press the button for a code.
- Have your bot fetch
/visit/<code>first, then do whatever it normally does. - The card follows that one visit until the bot goes 30 minutes without a request.
- Read the card at
/send-your-bot/<code>.
The button is for people. A request that looks like a bot gets this page and no code.
Fine print
- The card shows places and outcomes, such as whether the bot read robots.txt and whether it kept to the rules.
- It never shows a path, a user-agent string or an address.
- Anyone with the card’s address can read it, so share it with care.
- Your bot is not scored any differently for having a card. The visit is on the island and in the census like any other.
- A code nobody has used lapses after 24 hours.
- A card is deleted 30 days after its first visit.
