About KuhanaBot

KuhanaBot is the crawler Kuhana uses to keep its catalogue of new vehicle prices, specifications, promos and dealer details in line with what official Philippine distributors publish.

How to recognise it

It sends this user agent:

KuhanaBot/0.1 (+https://kuhana.ph/bot; [email protected])

What it does and does not do

• It fetches a small number of public pages per site: price lists, model pages, promo pages and dealer locators.
• It checks robots.txt before every request and obeys it. Rules for the user agent token KuhanaBot are honoured, as are * rules and Crawl-delay.
• It makes at most one request every 3 seconds to a host, and backs off when a site answers 429 or a server error.
• It does not download images, videos or fonts, does not log in, does not submit forms, and does not use site search.
• It records facts (prices, specifications, addresses). It does not republish page text.
• It is not used on sites whose terms of use prohibit automated access; those are checked by hand.

How to limit or block it

Add rules to your robots.txt:

User-agent: KuhanaBot
Disallow: /

or set a Crawl-delay. Changes take effect on the next visit.
