# Dataprovider.com — full corpus
> Dataprovider.com is a B2B web data platform. We crawl 400M+ active domains every month, up to 50 pages deep, and structure them into 200+ fields covering business, technology, classifications, engagement and risk. Delivered via search UI, REST API, MCP/AI Navigator, and Snowflake/BigQuery/Databricks shares.
This is the long-form companion to https://www.dataprovider.com/llms.txt. It is structured for retrieval pipelines and AI agents, not for human reading. Each section below is a self-contained chunk with metadata.

## How to read this file
Type: Meta
Authority: Canonical
Stability: Stable
Source: this file
Each H2 or H3 chunk is a self-contained unit with a metadata header and a Related line at the end. Chunks are designed to survive being split by an embedding pipeline, so context (auth, source URL, version) is repeated where it matters.
Metadata fields used in this file:
- Type: one of `Identity`, `Glossary`, `Product`, `Use case`, `API endpoint group`, `Policy`, `Meta`.
- Authority: `Canonical` (the file is the source of truth or mirrors a source-of-truth URL), `Marketing-derived` (extracted from public marketing copy), or `Tutorial` (illustrative).
- Stability: `Stable` (rarely changes), `Volatile-monthly` (refreshed each crawl), `Volatile-quarterly` (likely to change every few months), `Versioned` (changes with API version bumps).
- Applies to: which audience, plan or API version the chunk applies to.
- Source: canonical URL for the underlying claim.
- Cadence: refresh frequency, when applicable.
- Related: chunk titles or URLs that complement this chunk.
Agents should prefer chunks with `Authority: Canonical` over `Marketing-derived` when a fact conflicts. When citing pricing, privacy, terms or API behaviour, follow the URL in `## Preferred citation URLs` rather than restating from this file.

## Terminology
Type: Glossary
Authority: Canonical
Stability: Stable
Source: https://www.dataprovider.com/our-data/
Maps Dataprovider.com terms to generic concepts so agents can match cross-vendor queries. Vendor-specific equivalents are intentionally omitted from this file.
- `Connection Index`: relative web-activity score per hostname derived from anonymized recursive DNS request counts. Generic concept: traffic rank.
- `Economic Footprint`: 0–100 score estimating commercial scale of a website, computed from incoming links, technical setup and structural signals. Generic concept: site importance score.
- `Recipe`: saved filter / search template that can be opened in the web search engine or executed via the `/recipes` API endpoint. Generic concept: saved search.
- `Universe`: graph of domains identified as owned or operated by the same entity. Generic concept: company graph, corporate family tree.
- `Ecommerce Trustgrade`: classification score assigned to detected online stores. Generic concept: merchant trust score.
- `Heartbeat`: per-domain measure of how frequently and how much a website is updated. Generic concept: site activity score.
- `Trust Grade`: per-domain reliability score (used inside Know Your Business). Generic concept: reliability rating.
- `DPQL`: filter expression syntax used by Dataprovider.com endpoints. Generic concept: structured query DSL.
- `Hostname` vs `Domain`: hostname includes the subdomain (`blog.acme.com`); domain is the registered apex (`acme.com`).
- `Reverse DNS` (in this dataset): standard PTR-record lookup. The Dataprovider.com crawler identifies itself via the reverse-DNS string `dataproviderbot.com`.
- `Private crawl` / `Know Your Business`: a dedicated, per-customer crawl of a customer-supplied list of domains. Output is not added to the public dataset.
- `Public crawl`: the monthly global crawl that feeds the public dataset accessible via search engine, API and warehouse shares.

### Crawler
Type: Identity
Authority: Canonical
Stability: Stable
Source: https://www.dataprovider.com/crawler/
Cadence: monthly full re-crawl
The Dataprovider.com crawler is operated in-house. Site owners can identify and control it as follows:
- User-agent string: `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Dataprovider.com)`
- Reverse-DNS identifier: `dataproviderbot.com`
- Robots.txt directive to disallow only Dataprovider.com:
```
User-agent: dataprovider
Disallow: /
```
- Robots META tag to exclude a single page (works for any compliant crawler):
```html
```
- Manual opt-out request: https://www.dataprovider.com/opt-out/
The crawler honours robots.txt and the META tag. A manual opt-out via the form excludes a domain from both the crawl and the dataset.
