Our bot.

Bifrost Sports runs hockey leagues, teams and rinks. To show players their games, scores and stats, our servers read public schedules and results. Every request we send says it comes from us and links to this page.

What each name means

• Bifrost-Scraper reads public schedules, scores, standings and rosters that leagues and rinks publish.
• Bifrost-Geocoder looks up a rink's address once, so we can show it on a map.
• Bifrost-LinkPreview fetches a link someone pasted into the app, to show its title and image.
• Bifrost-Cards fetches a team or rink logo someone added in the app.
• Bifrost-Indexing tells search engines when a page on bifrostsports.com changes, so they can read it again.

Bifrost-LinkPreview and Bifrost-Cards only fetch links and images people add themselves, and Bifrost-Indexing only talks about our own site. None of them collects league data.

What we read

We read public pages and the same data a visitor's browser gets. When a data owner issues us a key, we use it. We never sign in with anyone's account or password.

How often we ask

Most leagues are read once or twice a day. While a game is being played at a rink that publishes live scores, we check that game every few seconds, one request at a time per site. Every request names us.

How to make us stop

Email us and we'll stop the same day. If you block us, we won't try to get around it.
