Barkrowler/0.9

Barkrowler is the proprietary web crawler developed by Babbar.tech, designed to systematically traverse the web to build a comprehensive link graph. It functions as the data collection engine for Babbar's suite of SEO and digital marketing tools, which help users analyze backlink profiles and site authority. Unlike many aggressive scrapers, Barkrowler is engineered to be transparent, identifying itself clearly in its user-agent string and providing public documentation regarding its crawl behavior and IP ranges.

The bot crawls the web to extract link structures and meta-information, which are then processed to calculate SEO metrics such as domain authority and link popularity. It does not store full page content or personal data, focusing instead on the connectivity and metadata of web pages. By visiting both active and broken links, it ensures that the Babbar database remains an accurate reflection of the current state of the web for its users.
