What is ParticleNewsBot?

ParticleNewsBot is a content aggregator. Particle is an AI powered aggregator that collects news from many sources.

ParticleNewsBot collects and redistributes content from across the web, so pages it can reach may be surfaced to audiences well beyond your own site. Aggregated copies also become part of the corpus AI systems draw on, which makes it worth knowing what ParticleNewsBot takes and how often.

Like any automated client, ParticleNewsBot consumes crawl budget and appears in your server and CDN logs. Reviewing those logs alongside your robots.txt rules helps you keep automated traffic deliberate and easy to reason about.

Want to see every AI bot hitting your site? Promptwatch turns your server and CDN logs into a live view of AI crawler and agent traffic, so you can watch ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and others crawl your pages and connect those visits to real citations and revenue.

How to handle ParticleNewsBot

Allow ParticleNewsBot if you want your content distributed through the feeds and apps it supplies. Disallow it if you would rather people reach that content only on your own site.

ParticleNewsBot does not send a stable user-agent token, so a robots.txt rule cannot reliably target it. It instead signs every request using Web Bot Auth HTTP message signatures and publishes its public keys at https://api.minalabs.io/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory. Verify that signature at your CDN or edge and allow or block it there.

The operator does not publish a robots.txt commitment for ParticleNewsBot, so confirm how it behaves by watching your access logs.

Examples

  • A publisher checks how often ParticleNewsBot pulls new articles and whether the aggregated version links back to the original.
  • An editor keeps ParticleNewsBot allowed so new posts reach the readers of the apps it supplies.
