KosmosBot
An automated reader that visits public pages for market research.
What it does
- Reads pages that are already public — official registers, company websites, public announcements — to keep a picture of who operates in the payments industry.
- Identifies itself on every request as
KosmosBot/1.0 (+https://kosmosbot.pages.dev/). - Reads
robots.txtbefore anything else and obeys it. - Requests pages slowly, one at a time per site, and skips images, video and fonts.
What it never does
- Sign in, or go past a login, paywall or bot protection.
- Pretend to be a browser or another crawler.
- Submit forms, place orders, or change anything on a site.
- Collect personal information beyond the business role details a company publishes about itself.
