BaskoBot

BaskoBot reads the prices that stores in Uzbekistan publish on their own websites, so the Basko app can compare a shopping list across stores. It identifies itself as:

BaskoBot/1.0 (+https://basko.app/bot)

How it behaves

• It reads only the product data a store publishes for search engines (schema.org), on pages listed in the store's sitemaps.
• It obeys robots.txt, including Google's wildcard rules, and never goes faster than your Crawl-delay. Without one, it waits 2 to 3 seconds between requests to a store.
• It sends conditional requests (If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since), backs off on errors and pauses after repeated failures.
• It never signs in, solves captchas, rotates IP addresses or pretends to be a browser.
• Product photos shown on basko.app are fetched once by Basko's website (as BaskoBot/1.0) and kept for a week, so visitors don't load them from your servers.

To stop it

Add this to your robots.txt; BaskoBot reads it again within a day:

User-agent: BaskoBot
Disallow: /

Store owners who'd rather send a product feed (YML or Google Merchant XML), or who want their store's prices, name or logo removed from Basko, can write to support@basko.app.
