# agent-services x402 robots.txt Fetcher

> agent-services x402 robots.txt Fetcher is a paid API for AI agents from 49112-hjhjtioxvirqvcvo.splox.app, paid per call via x402, $0.0005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Fetches and parses the robots.txt file for a given website URL, returning crawl rules, sitemaps, crawl delay, and existence status.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-services-x402-robots-txt-fetcher-7bf95556
```

Example prompt: Can you check the robots.txt for https://example.com and tell me which paths are disallowed for crawlers and what sitemaps are listed?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, parsed robots.txt lookup for a single URL via a pay-per-call model with no subscription required. Ideal for AI agents that need to check crawl permissions on-demand before scraping or indexing, especially in workflows that also use the sibling DNS or TLS endpoints from the same x402-paid service suite.

## Known failure modes

- Site does not have a robots.txt (exists: false, status: 404)
- URL is malformed or unreachable (error field populated)
- Site returns non-standard robots.txt format that cannot be fully parsed
- Network timeout reaching the target site
- Target site blocks the fetcher's IP or returns unexpected HTTP status

## How this service works

Paid per-call web tools for AI agents: DNS, TLS, robots.txt, hashing, JavaScript rendering and screenshots. Payment over x402 (USDC on Base).

## Output

Returns a parsed representation of the site's robots.txt including: the URL of the robots.txt file, whether it exists, the HTTP status code, an array of crawl rule objects (user-agent/allow/disallow directives), a list of sitemap URLs, and the crawl delay if specified. May include a note or error field if something went wrong.
