How to spot it
Every request it makes carries this user agent:
LuceraBot/0.1 (+https://getlucera.com/crawler)
What it reads
Public pages only: the agendas, minutes and meeting video that local governments post, and the files those pages link to. It never logs in, fills in forms, or reads anything behind a password.
How fast it goes
At most one request every 2 seconds to any one site, so it shouldn’t slow your server down.
robots.txt
LuceraBot reads your robots.txt and follows it. To keep it out of your whole site, add this:
User-agent: LuceraBot Disallow: /
To keep it out of one part of your site, name that path instead:
User-agent: LuceraBot Disallow: /archive/
Problems or questions
If LuceraBot is causing trouble, or you’d like it to visit less often, email sean@getlucera.com. Tell us your site’s address and we’ll sort it out.
