PulseList Bot
A lightweight, respectful crawler keeps listing metadata and liveness current.
Crawler policy
User agent: PulseListBot/1.0 (+https://thepulselist.com/bot). We fetch public HTML monthly (biweekly for paid tiers), identify ourselves clearly, follow at most three redirects, read at most 1.5 MB per page, and back off on errors. Screenshot jobs use a browser only when a listing needs a preview.
Opting out
Blocking PulseListBot in robots.txt stops metadata refreshes; the listing keeps its last verified state and eventually shows as unverified. Founders can also mark a listing discontinued from the panel.
