The 816shows bots strive to always be respectful and non-intrusive to the music venues' sites. Because of the nature of updates to live act scheduling, it's unnecessary to use high frequency crawlers. Our bots are configured to access the pages as seldom as possible and are built to consume no more bandwidth than a regular browser. The bots are built with as little automation as necessary to navigate to the events calendars or ticketing pages and do not attempt to solve CAPTCHAS or circumvent systems designed to protect sites from unwanted crawling. There is no attempt to purchase or reserve seats and our bots will never compete with users for access to tickets. The data we collect is limited to publically available scheduling information and does not contain copyrighted imagery, music, or video content. 816shows will never package and resell data or crawl sites to train A.I models.
