LumipactIntelligenceBot
If this bot has appeared in your access logs, this page explains who it is, what it takes, and how to stop it. If anything here does not match what you are seeing, we would rather hear about it than not: bot@lumipact.com.
How to identify it
LumipactIntelligenceBot/1.0 (+https://lumipact.com/bot; contact: bot@lumipact.com)
What it reads
- Published pricing pages — the same page any visitor sees, with no account and no session.
- Public procurement records: US federal awards (USAspending), EU tender notices (TED), UK Contracts Finder, and pricing disclosed in SEC filings.
It is building price benchmarks, so that a company being quoted a renewal can tell whether the number is normal. Nothing it collects is resold as a feed.
What it never does
- Log in, or read anything behind an account.
- Submit a form, start a trial, or add anything to a basket.
- Collect personal data. It is looking for prices, not people.
- Ignore a
403. A refusal is recorded as a refusal and the URL is not retried.
How it behaves
- robots.txt is obeyed. Fetched once per host and cached; a disallowed path is not requested.
- At least two seconds between requests to one host, regardless of how many pages are queued for it.
- A handful of pages per site, at most once a day. Prices do not change hourly and we do not check as though they do.
- It backs off. Repeated failures widen the interval rather than repeating the request.
- Response bodies are capped. It reads a page, not an archive.
How to block it
Add this to your robots.txt. It takes effect on the next fetch, and no appeal or account is needed.
