What is GraphInsightBot?

GraphInsightBot is the dedicated crawler for GraphInsight, a news aggregation service that provides users with a unified reading experience. Unlike general-purpose search crawlers, this bot operates exclusively on URLs explicitly published in RSS or Atom feeds subscribed to by its users. It is designed to be lightweight and polite, ensuring that it does not overwhelm servers by spacing out requests and adhering strictly to site-specific crawl-delay settings.

Helpful — The bot is transparent, respects robots.txt and crawl-delay directives, and does not perform concurrent requests or train AI models.

What we read

Why it crawls your site

The bot crawls to fetch the full content of articles linked within user-subscribed feeds so they can be displayed in the GraphInsight application. It prioritizes transparency by signing its requests using Ed25519 (RFC 9421), allowing site administrators to cryptographically verify that the traffic originates from the official GraphInsight infrastructure. It does not scrape sites indiscriminately, nor does it use the collected data for training AI models or republishing content.
