ReliqraShowsBot
The crawler behind reliqra.com/shows — a free public calendar of coin, currency, card and comic shows. This page exists so anyone who sees us in their logs can find out exactly who we are, what we take, and how to stop us.
Identifying us
| User-Agent | ReliqraShowsBot/1.0 (+https://reliqra.com/showsbot; shows@reliqra.com) |
| Operator | Reliqra, LLC (United States) |
| Contact | shows@reliqra.com |
| Signed requests | Web Bot Auth key directory |
Every request we make is signed with Ed25519 using Web Bot Auth, so you can verify cryptographically that traffic claiming to be us actually is. We will never crawl you under a browser user-agent or any name other than the one above.
What we do
- Read publicly listed show dates — name, date, venue, city and state.
- Build a page for each show that credits the source by name and links back to that source's own listing, not to its homepage.
- Mark anything we have not independently confirmed as "Confirm this one first", and publish no structured event data for it.
What we do not do
- No AI training. Nothing we fetch is used to train or fine-tune a model,
and we honor
ai-train=nocontent signals. - No mirroring. We do not republish your pages, your descriptions or your images. We index the facts of an event and send people to you.
- No passing your work off as ours. Attribution is on every page built from your listing.
How we behave
- We read and honor
robots.txt, includingCrawl-delay. - We fetch a source at most once a day, and in practice weekly.
- We fetch listing pages only — never search endpoints, logins or anything behind a form.
How to block us
Put this in your robots.txt and we will stop on our next run:
User-agent: ReliqraShowsBot
Disallow: /Or email shows@reliqra.com and we will remove your listings and stop fetching you. You do not need to give a reason, and we will not ask you to justify it. If you would rather we kept indexing but changed something — how you are credited, which pages we read, how often — tell us that instead and we will do it.
If you would rather send us the data
Many organizers would prefer to hand us a feed than be crawled. If you publish an iCal or JSON calendar, point us at it and we will read that instead — it is less load on you and more accurate for us. Organizers can also submit a show directly, no account required.
