How this service works
AI crawler monetization check for a domain: per-crawler robots.txt rules for 18 named AI crawlers and whether access is already sold through TollBit, RSL, x402 or a 402 response. Verdict: unmonetized-crawler-magnet, already-monetized, blocked-not-monetized or low-appeal. A revenue figure appears only when the caller supplies a rate and volume.
Output
A structured report on the target URL's crawler diligence, including signals about robots.txt rules, bot-blocking behavior, site trustworthiness indicators, and overall crawlability assessment — helping an agent decide whether it is safe and permitted to proceed with fetching content from the domain.
Example use cases
Pre-crawl safety check for agent
“I'm about to have my agent fetch a bunch of pages from newssite.com — can you run a crawler diligence check on it first to make sure it won't block us and seems legit?”
Competitor research site vetting
“I want to scrape pricing data from competitor.com, but first check whether that domain is crawler-friendly and doesn't have any red flags that would get my bot blocked.”
Content pipeline URL triage
“We're ingesting URLs from third-party feeds and need to filter out ones that block crawlers or look shady — can you run a diligence check on https://suspiciousblog.net before we add it to the pipeline?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://tariffmonkee.com/paid/crawler-diligence?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call assessment of whether a URL is safe and permitted for automated crawling — especially before committing to a full scrape or adding a domain to a content pipeline. Prefer it over manual inspection when you need programmatic, structured crawler compliance signals without setting up accounts or subscriptions. It complements browser-rendering or content-extraction endpoints by acting as a gatekeeper check first.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns a network error, resulting in incomplete report
- Target site actively blocks the diligence probe, returning limited or no data
- Malformed or non-HTTP URL input causes a request validation error
- Rate limiting or timeout on the target domain prevents full signal collection
- The site uses advanced bot detection that obscures true crawlability status
