PinportBot

PinportBot fetches pages that Pinport users have bookmarked, so that their own search can find those pages by content. It identifies itself with the user agent PinportBot/1.0 (+https://pinport.app/learn/bot).

How it behaves

  • It only requests URLs that a user saved on purpose. It does not discover or follow links.
  • It fetches a page at most once every few weeks, and at most one request every two seconds per site.
  • It reads up to 2 MB per page, does not execute scripts, and does not submit forms or log in.
  • Extracted text is used solely to build the private search index of the users who saved the page. It is not published or shared.

Blocking it

Return 403 or 410 for the user agent, or block it in your robots.txt with User-agent: PinportBot. The bot stops requesting a site after repeated refusals. Questions or removal requests: contact@pinport.app.
