What it is

Fetches individual URLs that a Pinpoint user — usually a journalist or researcher — added as a source to their own document collection. Google publishes fetcher addresses in two files — user-triggered-fetchers.json and user-triggered-fetchers-google.json — and does not say per fetcher which one applies, so verification means checking both; this index mirrors both.

What blocking it costs you

A researcher who explicitly added your page to a collection cannot load it.
