# ScentralParkBot

> Public info page for our web crawler.

## What the bot does

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

## How to recognise it

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

Also sends the RFC 9110 header `From: legalexap.product172@passmail.net` so a supplier's abuse contact has a direct address without opening the /bot page.

## Frequency

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

## How to block it

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

```
User-agent: ScentralParkBot
Disallow: /
```

Individual paths: list them with `Disallow:` under the same `User-agent` rule. Changes are picked up on the next crawl run (within 24 hours).

## Contact

Prefer a direct conversation to `robots.txt` — supplier corrections, de-listing requests or technical issues: legalexap.product172@passmail.net. Usually answered within a few business days.
