HomeGymMarketplaceBot
The short version. We check the public prices of home gym equipment on brand websites, gently and within the rules your robots.txt sets. If you want us to stop, email us and we will stop the same day.
Who we are
Home Gym Marketplace is a marketplace for home gym equipment. Our price checker identifies itself with this user agent:
HomeGymMarketplaceBot/1.0 (+https://www.homegymmarketplace.com/bot)
What it reads
Only what a store already publishes for anyone to see: product names and details, photos, prices, sale prices, and whether items are in stock.
We use it to show shoppers accurate prices, and we keep a price history so they can tell a real sale from a normal price.
What it never does
- It never adds to a cart, checks out, logs in, or submits a form.
- It never reads customer accounts or anything behind a login.
- It never collects personal information about anyone.
How gently it checks
It is built to stay light on your site. It spaces out its requests, honours a Crawl-delay in your robots.txt, and backs off if your site asks it to slow down.
How to limit or stop it
Our checker follows your robots.txt. To block it, add a group for HomeGymMarketplaceBot, for example:
User-agent: HomeGymMarketplaceBot Disallow: /
Or email admin@homegymmarketplace.com with your store's domain and we will stop checking it the same day. If you run the store and would rather share prices with us directly, write to the same address.
