Varta monitor — about our crawler
Varta is an information service for Ukrainians abroad. Our crawler reads public government pages on a schedule and compares them with the previous text. We report a rule change after checking the current source.
How it behaves
- Reads public pages only; never submits forms or accesses accounts.
- The schedule depends on the source: roughly every six hours, daily or weekly. Requests have delays; failures may trigger limited retries.
- Respects robots.txt.
- Does not republish pages: we quote a short excerpt of the change and always link to the original source.
