Hello.
I'm Jong Beom Kim, web search product manager of Naver Corporation(www.naver.com)Please, check the robots rule issues
=====================================================
We offer search results by collecting the data of Wikipedia.
However, transmitting data by dumping is not satisfy freshness,
so we want to collect the data by API( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API) ) for freshness.
Your sites robots rules are restricting our API access(/w/api.php)
Therefore, YETI(Naver Corporation Web Robot Crawler) would collect the data by API ignoring "robots.txt'
If the above method is not allowed, can you tell us the correct process and policy of access?
I will wait for your guidance about policy and process of collecting data.
==========================================
Best regards.
Thanks
