How this service works
Fetches a domain's robots.txt and parses its Content-Signal and AI-preference directives (search, ai-input, ai-train) into structured JSON plus a plain-English summary of what's allowed — the "can this domain be crawled by an AI agent" check. Run before scraping content or building a RAG index, ahead of the industry's move toward stricter bot-gating defaults later this year.
Output
Returns structured JSON containing parsed robots.txt directives for Content-Signal and AI-preference fields (search, ai-input, ai-train), along with a plain-English summary of what is allowed or disallowed for AI agents, scrapers, and indexers.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Before I scrape techcrunch.com for my RAG index, check its robots.txt to see whether AI crawling, ai-input use, and ai-train use are actually permitted — give me both the structured breakdown and a plain-English summary.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/robots-txt-ai-checkWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint as a pre-crawl compliance check before any web scraping, RAG indexing, or AI training data collection workflow. It is specifically designed to parse emerging AI-preference and Content-Signal directives that generic robots.txt parsers do not handle, making it the right choice when you need to confirm AI-specific permissions rather than just standard Googlebot rules.
Side effects
- Domain does not have a robots.txt file — returns empty or default permissive interpretation
- Domain is unreachable or returns non-200 — fetch error reported
- Malformed robots.txt with unrecognized directive syntax — partial parse with warnings
- Invalid domain format in input — validation error returned
- No AI-specific directives present — summary reflects generic crawl rules only
