RaceAuraBot

RaceAura helps athletes find endurance races. To keep our calendar complete we sometimes read public race calendars with an automated client that identifies itself as:

RaceAuraBot/0.1 (+https://raceaura.com/bot/)

What we collect

  • Facts only: race name, date, location and distances.
  • We do not copy descriptions, photos, logos or other creative content.
  • Every race page on RaceAura links to the official race website, and where data came from your site we credit and link to it.
  • A person reviews every race before it is published.

How we behave

  • We follow robots.txt (including Crawl-delay) and re-check it regularly.
  • We respect text-and-data-mining reservations (TDMRep: the tdm-reservation header or meta tag, and /.well-known/tdmrep.json).
  • We only read sites whose terms of use we have reviewed, and calendar/aggregator sites only with permission.
  • We make few requests: at most one every few seconds per site, typically once per night.

Opting out

Add this to your robots.txt and we will stop reading your site:
