Tasting Cup crawler

Our crawler collects public coffee bean and coffee gear listings from roasters and retailers. We use these listings to build a comprehensive specialty coffee catalog that helps our users discover and compare products.

What we collect

We collect product names, coffee details, gear specifications, package sizes, prices, availability, and links to the original product pages. We revisit listings to discover new products and help keep catalog information current.

How we visit websites

We respect robots.txt rules, limit our request rate, and back off when a website asks us to slow down. Product links direct our users to the original seller.

Identifying our crawler

Our crawler identifies itself with this User-Agent:

CoffeeCatalog/1.0 (+https://tastingcup.com)

HTTPS crawl requests use Web Bot Auth signatures. You can verify our identity using the public signing key directory.
