LiveCalBot

LiveCalBot is the crawler behind LiveCal, a service that puts live, self-updating public events on people's calendars. The bot looks for published event calendars — ICS feeds, JSON-LD event markup, public calendar pages — so that when someone searches for your events, we can point at your own schedule instead of guessing.

How it behaves

• It honors robots.txt (match token LiveCalBot, falling back to *).
• It waits at least 2 seconds between requests to the same domain, uses conditional requests (ETag / Last-Modified) where supported, and backs off exponentially on errors or rate limits.
• It stores pointers and event facts (titles, dates, venues), never page mirrors, and it never crawls behind logins or paywalls.
• It reads only public pages and feeds. It submits no forms.

Blocking or limiting it

Add this to your robots.txt and LiveCalBot will stop crawling your site:

User-agent: LiveCalBot
Disallow: /

Questions, complaints, or removal requests: support@livecal.ai. Include the affected domain and we'll act on it promptly.
