Shap-User

Listed only

Parallel's user-triggered fetcher. It identifies itself when Parallel accesses content on behalf of a user, giving content owners visibility into user-initiated requests. The operator documents that it is not used for automatic crawling and is intended to provide visibility rather than to be managed through robots.txt, which governs ShapBot instead.
