Title: Can you scrape all pages from a website by parsing robot.txt? How?
Hey folks!
So I’ve been digging into this whole *scrape all pages from website robot.txt how to* thing, and I’m kinda stuck. Like, I know robot.txt tells crawlers what’s off-limits, but can you actually use it to *find* all the pages?
Some say it’s possible if the sitemap’s listed there, but others say nah, it’s just for blocking. Anyone got experience with this?
Also, if it *is* doable, what’s the best way to go about it? Python? Some random tool? Or am I just wasting my time lol.
Thanks in advance!
