Price Collection Bots Policy
Last updated: March 22, 2026
Why We Use Bots
MotoSpy uses automated bots to collect public product pricing from retailer product endpoints so we can show up-to-date comparisons, deal detection, and price history.
How Collection Works
- We request product data linked to products in our catalog.
- Requests are rate-limited, retried carefully, and spread across time.
- Only pricing and related public product fields are processed.
Identity and Transparency
We maintain a machine-readable bot IP list endpoint at /api/bot-ips and use a consistent request user-agent for store collection.
Collection Boundaries
We do not collect private account pages, checkout data, or personal user information from stores. Collection is limited to publicly accessible product pricing resources.
