> Overview of InfoPrice public crawler identities and verification resources.

InfoPrice provides price-intelligence services and operates this public crawler identity and verification service.

## Crawler identities

- [InfoPriceBot](https://bot.infoprice.co/index.md): Scheduled collection of publicly accessible product, price, promotion, availability, catalog, marketplace, and store information.
- [InfoPrice-SearchBot](https://bot.infoprice.co/search.md): Targeted public-page retrieval to support rapid index refreshes, price-event discovery, and structured listing discovery.
- [InfoPrice-DiscoveryBot](https://bot.infoprice.co/discovery.md): Systematic exploration of public catalog and listing surfaces to identify relevant product and offer pages for later collection.
- [InfoPrice-MonitorBot](https://bot.infoprice.co/monitor.md): Operationally scheduled checks of availability, pricing, and promotion drift against public product pages.
- [InfoPrice-ValidatorBot](https://bot.infoprice.co/validator.md): Follow-up verification checks for freshness, structural consistency, and policy-compliant validation of previously discovered data sources.

## Responsible crawling

- Respects robots.txt directives for public crawling.
- Uses host-level concurrency and request-rate controls.
- Honors Retry-After and backs off after HTTP 429 and repeated 5xx responses.
- Avoids authentication, account, checkout, form-submission, and transactional workflows unless authorized.

## Verify crawler traffic
