🍽️ NoshGridBot

NoshGridBot is the web crawler for NoshGrid, a community app for finding restaurant deals. It visits restaurant websites to find publicly posted specials — happy hours, weekly deals, coupons — and lists them on NoshGrid with a link back to the page they came from.

How it behaves

• Identifies as NoshGridBot/1.0 (+https://noshgrid.com/bot)
• Obeys robots.txt, including User-agent: NoshGridBot rules
• Fetches at most a few pages per site, roughly once per day, seconds apart
• Stores only deal facts (discount, schedule, dates) — never photos, menus, or page text
• Every listed deal links to your website; we send diners to you

Opting out

Add this to your robots.txt and NoshGridBot will stop crawling your site:

User-agent: NoshGridBot
Disallow: /

Or email kevincbley@gmail.com with your domain — we'll stop crawling and remove bot-sourced deals for your business within 24 hours.
