susbot
The Python package of sus.bot, a robots.txt checker. It tells you which search engines and AI crawlers a site lets in, what is wrong with the file, and which paths it gives away. It ships the Rust engine behind sus.bot as Python bindings and the susbot command.
pip install susbot
Wheels are built for Linux, macOS and Windows on CPython 3.10 and later.
Command line
susbot https://example.com # audit a live site
susbot robots.txt --format markdown --out audit.md
susbot diff old.txt new.txt # what changed, crawler by crawler
python -m susbot --help
It is the same program as cargo install susbot. Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when a --fail-on or --fail-on-security threshold is met, 2 on errors.
Python
import susbot
text = open("robots.txt", encoding="utf-8").read()
a = susbot.Analysis(text, site_url="https://example.com/")
a.allowed("GPTBot", "/blog/post") # False
a.check_access("Googlebot", "/admin/") # the verdict and the rule that decided it
a.report["summary"] # counts, default policy, AI training, platform
a.issues # lint findings with stable ids
a.security # disallowed paths that look sensitive
a.markdown() # the client audit; also html(), csv_tabs(), tsv()
old = susbot.Analysis(old_text, site_url="https://example.com/")
susbot.diff(old, a) # crawler verdict flips, new sensitive paths, issues
Analysis takes config= for a TOML file merged over susbot.default_config(), and locale= with lang= for a translated report. The report follows the published JSON schema. The package never fetches anything itself; the susbot command does.
