ExamMint Index Engine Bot
Verification and crawling specifications for the official ExamMint notification indexer.
About ExamMintBot
Hello! If you are checking your server access logs, you probably noticed requests from ExamMintBot. This page explains what our bot does, how we gather information, and how we respect your website bandwidth and resources.
What is ExamMintBot?
ExamMintBot is the official crawler for the ExamMint search index. We visit public portal boards to aggregate notifications for government recruitment alerts.
The bot discovers exam dates, eligibility criteria guidelines, and official announcement PDF files. We index this information so candidates can easily find it on notifications.exammint.in.
Why We Index Public Portals
Finding recruitment notifications can be incredibly difficult for aspirants, as announcements are scattered across hundreds of separate national and state boards.
We visit public notifications areas solely to organize this public info. We do not index private user profiles, protected directories, or behind-the-wall contents.
Official User-Agent
Agent Header IdentityPolite Scraping Guidelines
Our indexing system is optimized to operate efficiently and gently on public servers.
No Server Hammering
We do not flood websites with traffic. Our crawler schedules random delay pauses of 0.8 to 2.0 seconds between page requests.
Isolated Requests
Queue intervals are carefully spaced out. We index only public boards during each daily update session.
Lightweight Downloads
We ignore large PDF files, enforcing a strict size limit of 2 MB to protect your outbound bandwidth.
Clear Identification
We announce our identity transparently in request headers, referencing this documentation directly in our User-Agent.
Smart Caching
If we verify that an exam notification board has not been updated since our last check, we skip downloading it again, minimizing server load.
Respectful Crawler
The crawler obeys host directives. We follow standard robots.txt files and process state board crawl limits quickly.
