What is hankbot?
hankbot is a dedicated web crawler developed by hank.parts, a reverse marketplace platform for automotive and motorcycle components. Unlike general-purpose search engines, its primary function is to perform targeted checks on product pages to ensure that the listings displayed on the hank platform remain accurate, active, and correctly priced. By maintaining this index, the bot helps prevent users from encountering dead links or outdated information when searching for specific vehicle parts.
