## What blocking it costs you

If you are the publisher, this breaks the assistant you put on your own pages. If you are not, it should not be crawling you.

## Ask this page a question, with one GET

A question about this page, answered by a call you can make right now — no key, no account, no JSON-RPC, nothing to assemble. The query string is already filled in with this page's own subject.

- **How do I prove a request really is Anomura?**  
  `curl -s 'https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/tools/verification-methods?crawler=anomura&s=client-dossiers'`  
  The verification method its operator actually publishes — published IP ranges, reverse DNS, or nothing at all — and the mirror of it on this host.

Every parameter above is a value the endpoint reads, not an address it visits: nothing is fetched on your behalf. Called without any parameter, each endpoint returns its own specification instead of an error.
