IsUpMapBot

Automated status crawler for isupmap.com

What is IsUpMapBot?

IsUpMapBot is the automated crawler that powers isUpMap — a free, real-time heatmap of operational status for 80+ internet services. It runs as a Cloudflare Worker on a scheduled cron every 5 minutes, polling publicly available status pages and RSS/Atom feeds.

User-Agent string

All requests from IsUpMapBot include the following User-Agent header:

IsUpMapBot/1.0 (+https://isupmap.com/bot)

What it accesses

IsUpMapBot reads only publicly available endpoints:

Statuspage JSON APIs (/api/v2/summary.json) — used by services that run on Atlassian Statuspage or compatible platforms.
RSS and Atom incident feeds — for services that publish a public status feed (e.g. status.example.com/feed).
Plain HTTP reachability probes — a simple GET to a service's public status URL to confirm it responds.

IsUpMapBot never logs in, submits forms, or accesses any authenticated or private content. It only reads the same data a regular browser would see on a public status page.

Crawl frequency & volume

Each monitored service is probed once per 5-minute cron cycle. Requests are lightweight (a single JSON or RSS fetch per service). A transient failure triggers one automatic retry before moving on — no aggressive retry loops.

Origin

Requests originate from Cloudflare's global edge network. The egress IP will be a Cloudflare datacenter IP and will vary by colo. You can verify the IP is a Cloudflare address via cloudflare.com/ips.

Blocking or rate-limiting IsUpMapBot

You are welcome to block or rate-limit IsUpMapBot using the User-Agent string above or by IP range. If you block it, your service will show as Unknown on isUpMap rather than generating false alerts. We respect standard HTTP status codes — a 429 Too Many Requests or 403 Forbidden response is treated as "host is reachable" and does not trigger an outage report.
