About Wobblepot-Bot
Wobblepot-Bot fetches recipe pages that users explicitly submit through the recipe import feature. It is not a crawler.
User-agent
The bot identifies itself with the following User-Agent string:
Wobblepot-Bot/1.0 (+https://wobblepot.com/bot)
For robots.txt matching, the token is Wobblepot-Bot/1.0.
What it does
Fetches recipe pages that a signed-in user has pasted into the recipe import field.
Extracts recipe data (ingredients, instructions, prep/cook time) for that user.
What it does not do
No crawling. It never follows links off the submitted page.
No indexing. It does not build a search index of your content.
No scheduled fetches. It only fetches when a user initiates an import and never re-fetches the same URL on a schedule.
Respecting your site
Wobblepot-Bot honours
robots.txt. If your rules disallowWobblepot-Bot/1.0(or*) for a URL, we will not fetch it.We cache
robots.txtdecisions per origin for 24 hours to avoid repeated requests.Users who hit a disallow see a message explaining they can paste the recipe text directly instead.
