About BecomingVetBot
BecomingVet.com runs a small, well-behaved web crawler called BecomingVetBot to find volunteering / écovolontariat missions relevant to future veterinary students. Aggregated entries live at /experience/.
Identifying the bot
Every request carries this identification:
User-Agent: BecomingVetBot/1.0 (+https://becomingvet.com/bot)Rules the bot follows
- Respects your
robots.txt(User-AgentBecomingVetBotor wildcard). - Rate-limited to at most 1 request every 1.5 seconds per host.
- Fetches only publicly-listed pages (no login-protected or private URLs).
- Stores a short excerpt only (≤ 400 characters). Full content is never republished.
- Every entry links back to your original page — traffic and applications go to you, not to us.
- No advertising is displayed on aggregated pages.
If you don't want your content indexed
1. Block the crawler in robots.txt
