🤝 Crawling Etiquette

While 9bot primarily interacts with WhatsApp services and does not crawl websites, we follow these practices when making any HTTP requests:

• robots.txt: We respect robots.txt directives when accessing any web resources
• Rate Limiting: We implement request throttling to prevent server overload
• Consent: We only access resources with explicit user authorization
• Crawl-Delay: We respect crawl-delay directives when specified
• No Sensitive Paths: We do not attempt to access admin, login, or sensitive directories
