Hi, currently there is nothing of this sort. The user agents are random. I have a couple of servers doing the scraping in real-time. The IPs are not static.

Let me see if I can build a opt-out list. But wouldn't it beat the entire purpose of this app?




You should just declare your bot as a user-agent. Most publishers won't even bother to do it, but leaving a publisher an option is the correct etiquette for any bot. Random user agents is cloaked scraping.
