The inspirewrap bots are automated HTTP clients that fetch data from upstream sources on behalf of the linked-inspire wrapper.
Node.js command-line clients run periodically to probe upstream sources: they query service metadata, test available data offerings, and write the results back into the configuration files. These requests originate from a scheduled job, not from any browser session.
User-Agent sent by the command-line clients:
inspirewrap/1.0 (+https://inspirewrap.ontologycentral.com/bot.html#c)
The Java servlet forwards live browser requests to upstream sources. When a user loads a map tile or requests feature data through the linked-inspire interface, the servlet fetches the upstream response on their behalf, translating bounding boxes, axis order, and CRS as needed before returning the result. Each request is triggered by an incoming client request.
User-Agent sent by the servlet:
inspirewrap/1.0 (+https://inspirewrap.ontologycentral.com/bot.html#s)
If you are an upstream service operator and have questions or concerns about these requests, please contact: bot@ontologycentral.com.
