Description

Hey! I've finally updated my plugins and I've found more interesting stuff for this project! When looking for sources, I've found these two project which also distribute bot user agents information in JSON format, but with a completely different structure from the ai.robots.txt project. These are certainly relevant to bot blocking but I'll let you judge if they are worth the effort of working on more parsing.

Contributor guide
