How this service works
The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.
Output
Returns a structured breakdown of the robots.txt file including user-agent rules, disallowed and allowed path lists, crawl-delay values, and any sitemap URLs declared. Each response includes an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing for provenance.
Example use cases
SEO audit of crawl restrictions
“Pull up the robots.txt for https://shopify.com and show me all the disallowed paths and any crawl delay rules — I want to understand what Googlebot is blocked from accessing.”
Pre-crawl compliance check
“Before I scrape https://nytimes.com, can you check their robots.txt and tell me if general bots are allowed to crawl their article pages?”
Sitemap discovery from robots.txt
“Check the robots.txt at https://wikipedia.org and extract any sitemap URLs listed in there — I need them to seed my indexer.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.strale.io/x402/v2/robots-txt-parseWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a structured, auditable parse of a robots.txt file without building your own fetcher and parser. It is especially useful in compliance-conscious pipelines, SEO audits, or pre-crawl authorization checks where you need a trust-layer audit record attached to every result. Prefer it over rolling your own HTTP fetch when you need verifiable, chain-hashed provenance of the parse result.
Side effects
- URL not provided or malformed — request rejected with validation error
- Target site returns non-200 for robots.txt (404, 403, 500) — error returned with HTTP status
- robots.txt is empty or missing standard directives — partial or empty result returned
- Network timeout reaching target domain — timeout error returned
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) — 402 response before execution
