Our crawler visits public business websites to collect business contact details that those companies list publicly: company name, website, business phone number and email address, and the job titles shown on team and contact pages. The details are used for business-to-business outreach.
How it behaves
- It identifies itself as
ForgeWaveBot/1.0 (+https://forgewavestudio.com/bot). - It reads
robots.txtfirst and follows it. - It visits at most one page every two seconds per site, and no more than 20 pages per site per run.
- It does not log in, fill in forms or try to get around blocks.
Want us to stop?
Add this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: ForgeWaveBot Disallow: /
Or email crawler@forgewavestudio.com with your domain or the email address you want removed. We add it to our suppression list and stop collecting it.
