SuumerBot
SuumerBot is the crawler for Suumer, a free local events listing with no ads. It reads public event pages and calendar feeds so people can find events, and every listing links back to the venue's own site. It never logs in, fills in forms, or reads anything that is not public.
How to recognize it
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; SuumerBot/1.0; +https://suumer.com/bot)It follows robots.txt
SuumerBot reads your robots.txt before anything else and follows it. To stop it, add these two lines:
User-agent: SuumerBot
Disallow: /Rules you wrote for our older names still work: SuumerResearchBot, SuumerResearch, SuumerOwnerCalendarReview and PublicCalendarResearch. SuumerBot follows the strictest rule that names any of them, or *. It also follows rules written for ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai, because Suumer's research is run with Claude.
How fast it goes
At most one request per second to any one site, and slower whenever your robots.txt sets a Crawl-delay.
