payable

Fetches a domain's robots.txt and parses its Content-Signal and AI-preference directives (search, ai-input, ai-train) into structured JSON plus a plain-English summary of what's allowed — the "can this domain be crawled by an AI agent" check. Run before scraping content or building a RAG index, ahead of the industry's move toward stricter bot-gating defaults later this year.

We sent a real POST request to this endpoint and it answered 402 with payment requirements we could parse.
