How this service works
Count allow/disallow rules from robots.txt text. Call when crawl budget planning from a robots body you already fetched. Returns allow_n, disallow_n, sitemaps as deterministic JSON for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. First-party local math only—no RPC, live market feed, API keys, storage, or mediagen. Advisory only; the caller owns capital, risk, and production controls.
Output
A JSON object containing the schema version ('delx/util-robots-path-budget/v1'), the count of allowed directives (allow_n), the count of disallowed directives (disallow_n), and an array of sitemap URLs found in the robots.txt.
Example use cases
Pre-crawl robots.txt budget check
“Before my agent starts crawling example.com, I fetched its robots.txt — can you parse this text and give me a count of allowed and disallowed paths plus any sitemaps listed, so I know what's safe to crawl?”
Sitemap discovery from robots.txt
“I have the raw robots.txt for a news site I want to index. Extract all the sitemap URLs declared in it so I can feed them into my sitemap crawler next.”
Compliance audit before scraping
“My scraping pipeline needs to respect robots.txt rules. Here's the robots.txt body from the target — summarize how many routes are blocked versus permitted so I can configure my agent's path budget accordingly.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/robots-path-budgetWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when your agent has already fetched a raw robots.txt string and needs a quick structured summary of crawl permissions and sitemap pointers — especially before launching a web crawl, building a site index, or checking compliance. It is a lightweight, single-call utility that avoids writing custom robots.txt parsing logic in your agent pipeline.
Side effects
- Empty or null robots.txt body returns zero counts and empty sitemaps array
- Malformed robots.txt with non-standard formatting may undercount directives
- Very large robots.txt bodies may be truncated or cause timeout
- Missing or unparseable Sitemap: lines result in empty sitemaps list
