How this service works
Fetches a public web page and returns its title, meta description, outbound links and readable plain text as JSON.
Output
A JSON object containing: the parsed robots.txt groups (each with user_agents, allow paths, disallow paths, and crawl_delay), the HTTP status code of the robots.txt fetch, a list of sitemap URLs declared in the file, and the canonical URL of the robots.txt that was fetched.
Example use cases
Pre-scrape compliance check
“Before I start scraping data from https://www.nytimes.com, can you pull their robots.txt and tell me which sections of the site are off-limits to bots?”
SEO audit – sitemap discovery
“I'm doing an SEO audit for https://www.shopify.com — can you grab their robots.txt and list all the sitemaps they've registered there?”
Bot-specific crawl rules lookup
“I need to know what rules https://www.google.com sets specifically for Yandex and AdsBot-Google in their robots.txt — can you fetch and parse that for me?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://automatom.matt-d59.workers.dev/robots?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable parsing of a site's robots.txt rather than raw text retrieval. It's ideal for pre-scraping compliance checks, SEO audits requiring sitemap discovery, or when you need per-user-agent rule breakdowns without writing your own parser.
Side effects
- robots.txt not found (404) — returns status 404 with empty groups
- website unreachable or timeout — HTTP error propagated in response
- malformed robots.txt — partial parsing with best-effort results
- missing or invalid URL query parameter — request rejected
- site returns non-text content at /robots.txt — parsing may fail
