🤖 Overview

bizbot04 is a web crawler operated by BizBot Inc., a business intelligence platform that aggregates publicly available company data, product listings, and pricing information. It is used to feed the BizBot analytics dashboard, which provides market research and competitor analysis for enterprise clients.

🌐 Technical Behavior

bizbot04 performs HTTP/1.1 GET requests with a configurable crawl interval defaulting to 5 seconds between requests per domain. It uses a rotating set of IP addresses sourced from a /24 subnet announced by ASN 398110 (BizBot Inc.), as documented in official network registration records. The crawler respects robots.txt directives but may re-crawl URLs every 24 hours if content is detected as changed via Last-Modified headers. It does not execute JavaScript or parse client-side rendered pages, relying solely on raw HTML extraction.

📋 robots.txt Compliance

bizbot04 fully honors Disallow directives in robots.txt, as verified by multiple webmaster reports. It also supports the Crawl-Delay directive, pausing for the specified number of seconds between fetches. However, aggressive crawl patterns have been observed when robots.txt is missing — the bot then defaults to maximum rate.

🔍 Detection Indicators

The primary User-Agent string is Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bizbot04/1.0; +https://bizbot.com/crawler). Additional headers include a custom X-BizBot-Crawler: 1 and a From header with the email [email protected]. IP addresses consistently fall within the 198.51.100.0/24 range (documented in WHOIS).

📊 Data Usage

Collected data is exclusively used for business analytics — pricing trends, product availability, and public company profiles — to power the BizBot dashboard. No data is used for AI model training or general search indexing. BizBot’s privacy policy confirms data retention is limited to 90 days unless the source site explicitly opts in for long-term storage.

⚙️ Rate Limiting Policy

bizbot04 is rate-limited to prevent resource exhaustion on target servers. A threshold of 10 requests per second per IP is recommended based on the bot’s documented maximum burst behavior, and blocking is justified only when sustained rates exceed this limit after a 503 backoff warning.
