ScentralParkBot

What the bot does

ScentralParkBot is the crawler that populates the public catalog at scentral-park.com with product data from our listed suppliers (fragrance oils, raw materials, accessories). It only reads publicly available product and documentation pages and extracts name, price, availability, IFRA data, pack variants and product image URL. It never submits forms, creates accounts or makes purchases.

How to recognise it

In your access logs the bot appears as:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ScentralParkBot/1.0; +https://scentral-park.com/bot)

It also sends the RFC 9110 From: legalexap.product172@passmail.net header so your abuse contact knows immediately whom to reach.

Frequency and politeness

At most one request per 60 seconds per host (token bucket, burst 1). Failed requests use exponential backoff, capped at 5 retries, and are cached with If-None-Match / If-Modified-Since, so unchanged pages are not re-transmitted after the first fetch. A full re-crawl of a supplier with 500 products therefore takes at least ~8 hours.

How to block it

The bot obeys robots.txt. To lock it out entirely:

User-agent: ScentralParkBot
Disallow: /

To protect individual paths, list them with Disallow: under the same User-agent rule. Changes are picked up on the next crawl run (within 24 hours at the latest).

Contact

If you would rather speak to us directly than manage the bot via robots.txt — supplier corrections, de-listing requests or technical issues — write to legalexap.product172@passmail.net. We usually respond within a few business days. Postal address and controller: see imprint.
