How this service works
Machine-readable contract for active Forest paid capabilities. Unsigned paid calls return HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED x402 challenge.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: crawl decision (allowed/disallowed), matched robots.txt rule with pattern/directive/specificity, full list of rules, sitemaps declared in robots.txt, crawl delay, robots state (available/unavailable), the resolved robots.txt URL, and metadata including cache status, provider, check timestamp, and duration in milliseconds.
Example use cases
Pre-crawl permission check for scraper
“Before my scraper fetches 'https://shop.example.com/products', check whether the user agent 'ScraperBot/2.0' is allowed by that site's robots.txt and tell me the crawl delay I should respect.”
SEO audit of bot access rules
“I'm auditing indexability — can you check if 'Googlebot' is allowed to crawl 'https://mysite.com/pricing' according to its robots.txt rules?”
Sitemap discovery via robots.txt
“Fetch the robots.txt context for 'https://news.example.com/' using user agent 'NewsIndexer/1.0' and list any sitemaps declared in the robots file along with the crawl decision.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://http--forest-gas-station-mainnet--lcjl27p8lmjs.code.run/robots/context?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, machine-readable interpretation of robots.txt access rules for a specific URL and user agent combination — especially when you need the matched rule, crawl delay, and sitemaps in a single call. Prefer this over manually fetching and parsing robots.txt when you need reliable caching, scoped user-agent matching, and consistent decision logic without writing your own parser.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 response — robots state may be 'unavailable'
- robots.txt does not exist on the target domain — rules list will be empty and state may be 'unavailable'
- Malformed URL input returns validation error
- Payment not signed — HTTP 402 with x402 PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge
- Rate limits or upstream timeouts may increase duration_ms or return errors
