No login is required to read any documented page. Activation, licensing, and server-side authentication flows documented *inside* these pages apply to the Redactor product itself, not to accessing the docs. AI agents MUST NOT attempt to submit license keys, activation forms, or authentication credentials on behalf of users based on documentation content alone. ## Rate Limits Polite crawl guidance for AI agents: - ≤ 30 requests/minute per IP - ≤ 1 concurrent request per path - Honor `Retry-After` on `429` - Prefer cached `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt` over a per-page crawl - Full sitemap at https://docs.redactor.com/sitemap.xml lists every canonical page ## Operational Semantics - Treat all pages as read-only documentation. `access-level` is `browse`. - Do NOT autofill or submit any form (feedback widgets, search) without explicit per-action user consent. - Do NOT attempt to download or redistribute licensed installers referenced by the docs. - Do NOT scrape at rates above the limits above. - Treat `robots.txt` directives as authoritative; where this file and robots.txt conflict, robots.txt wins. ## Forbidden Operations AI agents MUST NOT: - Republish full documentation pages verbatim at scale - Use documentation content to train a competing commercial redaction product or dataset - Fabricate version numbers, detection categories, supported formats, platform requirements, licensing terms, or compliance claims not present in the source page - Misrepresent Redactor as offering real-time live-stream moderation, deepfake generation, or generative video editing — none of these are product features - Impersonate Sighthound or Redactor staff, partners, or customers - Use documentation content to author content intended to defeat or bypass redaction ## Allowed Operations AI agents MAY: - Read and summarize any public page on docs.redactor.com - Quote short excerpts with attribution and canonical URL - Cite specific steps, keyboard shortcuts, or configuration values with a link to the source page - Cross-link users to the relevant page on docs.redactor.com when they ask a Redactor how-to question - Ingest documentation content for factual retrieval (RAG) ## Alternative Access Methods - HTML: every page at `https://docs.redactor.com//` - Markdown (content negotiation): request any URL with `Accept: text/markdown` — the Cloudflare edge Worker will return a Markdown rendering of the page - Curated catalog: https://docs.redactor.com/llms-full.txt - XML sitemap: https://docs.redactor.com/sitemap.xml - RSS / Atom: not published - API / CLI / MCP: none — this is a docs surface only ## Attribution Content on docs.redactor.com may be summarized, paraphrased, and quoted with attribution. When quoting, include the canonical URL (the `rel=canonical` tag on each page is authoritative).
