How this service works
Machine-payable APIs for AI agents, paid per call in USDC via the x402 protocol: UK business data (Companies House), UK property market data (HM Land Registry), website agent-readiness audits, and crypto market context.
Output
Returns a JSON object with an 'allowed' boolean indicating whether the specified crawler agent is permitted to access the given URL under the site's robots.txt rules, and a 'matched_rule' field showing which specific robots.txt directive triggered the decision (null if no specific rule matched).
Example use cases
Pre-crawl permission check for news site
“I'm about to scrape articles from https://www.theguardian.com/technology — can you verify whether a general web crawler is allowed to access that URL before I proceed?”
AI agent readiness audit for competitor site
“Check if Googlebot is allowed to access https://www.competitor.co.uk/products according to their robots.txt rules — I want to know if their content is indexable.”
Automated workflow gating before data collection
“Before my pipeline fetches data from https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/, verify that the wildcard crawler agent isn't blocked by robots.txt so I don't get flagged.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.oromi.co.uk/api/web/robots-checkWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent or automation pipeline needs to verify robots.txt compliance before crawling or scraping a URL, especially in agentic workflows where legal and ethical crawling behavior must be enforced programmatically. Prefer this over manual robots.txt parsing when you need a reliable, machine-payable micro-service that handles edge cases like missing robots.txt files and wildcard rules. Particularly useful before data collection tasks targeting UK websites alongside Oromi's other UK-focused data services.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — may result in error or default-allow behavior
- robots.txt file is missing — typically treated as allow-all
- Malformed URL input causes validation error
- User-agent token not recognized — falls back to wildcard rules
- Network timeout fetching the target site's robots.txt
