FontScanBot

Purpose

FontScanBot is the automated web crawler operated by Fontscan. We inspect publicly accessible web pages solely to verify the lawful and licensed use of our clients’ font software.

Request Behavior

Our crawler is designed to avoid placing load on destination servers. It operates with strict concurrency limits and restricts itself to single, infrequent HTTP requests per host.

Abuse & Technical Contact

If you are a server administrator and have questions or concerns regarding requests from our crawler, please contact abuse@fontscan.net.
