For Website and App Owners

Jsonify builds and runs data pipelines that collect publicly available commercial information — prices, products, menus, listings, availability, ratings and reviews — from websites and mobile apps, on behalf of business customers. This page is for the operators of those sources.

How Collection Works

• Pipelines read only content that is available without signing in, subscribing, or paying;
• For websites, robots.txt is read when a source is added, and no collection is built for paths disallowed to JsonifyBot;
• Request rates are limited, and fetched content is cached so sources are requested fewer times;
• Pipelines target commercial fields, not people, and our Acceptable Use Policy prohibits customers from using them to profile, locate, or monitor individuals.

Raising Collection from Your Source

If you operate a website or app and want to raise collection from it, contact paul@jsonify.com. Tell us:

• The website or app concerned, and your role in operating it;
• What you are asking for — information about collection, a change to how your source is read, or that collection stop;
• Anything that helps us identify the traffic, such as paths or time windows.

We will review promptly. Jsonify may stop collecting from any source at any time, for all customers; where we do, affected customers are notified and are not billed for rows not collected. We will confirm the outcome of your request.

Robots.txt

The simplest standing way to stop automated collection from your website is a robots.txt rule for User-agent: JsonifyBot. Rules addressed to all agents (User-agent: *) are not on their own treated as an instruction to Jsonify. You can also email us; a request to stop is applied for all customers.

Individuals

If your request is about your own personal data rather than a source you operate, use the privacy request form instead.
