The Ebbwatch price bot

If you saw this User-Agent in your logs, it's us:

Ebbwatch-pricebot/0.1 (price tracker; contact: [email protected])

What it does

• Reads public product listings or feeds to record prices, a few times a day.
• Waits at least 5 seconds between requests to the same site, and obeys robots.txt.
• Never logs in, adds to a cart, or tries to get past a bot challenge or CAPTCHA. If a site challenges it, it stops, and we ask.
• Keeps only product name, link, price and list price. No descriptions, images or reviews.
• Runs from one server: 135.148.166.124.
