FundigResearch

Reads public pages when a Fundig customer researches companies.

User agent
FundigResearch/1.0 (+https://console.fundig.app/bot)

Some pages are read for it by a rendering service, under that service's own user agent.

Opt out

FundigResearch reads on a customer's behalf and doesn't follow robots.txt. Ask on the opt-out form instead: we confirm each request by email, and a person reviews it within 2 business days.

Neither crawler signs in, fills in forms, or gets past paywalls or logins. Each of our servers reads one page at a time from a site, with a pause between pages. A rendering service reading for FundigResearch may make several requests to a site at once.
