How this service works
Checks whether a domain's published policy permits AI systems to read, train on, or index its content, parsing the relevant robots.txt directives into structured JSON with a human-readable interpretation. Built for scraping agents, dataset builders, and RAG pipelines that need to verify permission before ingesting a site's pages.
Output
A structured JSON object containing the parsed robots.txt AI-related directives for the queried domain, a permission status indicating whether AI systems are allowed to read, train on, or index the site, and a human-readable summary of the policy interpretation.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Before we scrape openai.com for our training dataset, check whether its robots.txt policy actually permits AI crawlers to access and train on its content.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/ai-crawl-permission-checkWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when building scraping agents, dataset pipelines, or RAG systems that need to programmatically verify whether a target domain's robots.txt policy permits AI access before ingesting content. Prefer this over manual inspection when processing multiple domains or automating compliance checks for AI training data collection.
Side effects
- Domain not found or unreachable — robots.txt cannot be fetched
- Domain provided without valid format — returns validation error
- robots.txt absent — may return a default permissive interpretation or indicate no policy found
- Ambiguous directives — some robots.txt rules may not clearly apply to AI agents, leading to uncertain interpretation
- Network timeout — request to fetch robots.txt times out
