InformedBot

For publishers and site owners.

InformedBot is the software that reads news for the Informed app. It identifies itself with this User-Agent:

InformedBot/0.2 (+https://readinformed.com/bot)

What it fetches

The RSS and Atom feeds that publishers make available.
The full text of a small number of articles that a story is written from, so every point in the story can be checked against, and linked to, the original reporting.
The article’s preview image, which the app shows with a credit to the publisher.

Every story in Informed links readers to the original articles it was written from.

InformedBot honours robots.txt for article pages. To stop it reading your articles, add this to your robots.txt:
