About the AppDoguChange checker
AppDoguChange is the checker behind AppDogu page change alerts. It opens pages that our members chose, a few times a day at most, and compares the text.
How it shows up
AppDoguChange/1.0 (+https://appdogu.com/change/bot)
What it does and does not do
- It reads robots.txt (kept for one day) and follows Allow, Disallow and Crawl-delay for the AppDoguChange name or for *.
- At most one request a minute to one site, from all our members together.
- It does not log in, fill in forms or run scripts. It stops on pages that ask for a password, and on 401, 403 or 451 answers.
- It reads up to 2 MB per page and waits up to 15 seconds.
