Ready4Bots

Look up one shop by URL or bare domain. www, scheme, port, and path are removed. Returns listed, certified (the R4 seal from a Mystery test or a verified bot report), canBuy, canBuyStatus (yes, limited, or no), canBuyReason, actions (search, book, order), abortReasons (not_listed, not_included, below_r3, no_order), and a short reason, plus level, purchaseReady when that field is already on the listing, the purchase path (protocol, endpoint when known, guestCheckout), known blockers from the Ready4Bots test (step and cause only), lastTestedAt, and botReport success and abort counts. canBuy is true for a listed R3 or R4 shop that is certified or publishes an order action when no known blocker is recorded. A known blocker, or guest checkout that is not confirmed (unknown or no), sets canBuy to false and canBuyStatus to limited. canBuyStatus is yes, limited, or no. Purchase-attempt counts are used when that table exists. Otherwise existing bot-board counts are used. An unknown domain returns found false and says to call check_website. This lookup does not run a check and does not award a level or the seal.

Run the free Ready4Bots Bot-Ready check on a public http(s) URL. Scores R0 through R3 with the v0.1 checker. Never awards R4 and never sets certified. A guarantee hint returns status R4 candidate · not verified. The same check the website runs; a saved report gets a public result URL.

Fetch one public listing by id, slug, domain, or website URL. The result includes level, status, certified (the seal), actions, audience, sourceUrl, and ready4botsUrl. A seal also includes validUntil and badge.status (valid or expired). An expired seal is not valid. Mystery test data and internal notes are not returned. Unverified levels are not certified.

List Ready4Bots levels R0 through R4, plus seal variants R4-N and R4-W. R3: purchase-ready – the agent reaches checkout; only the final purchase step is not yet verified. R4: Purchase demonstrably completed – via a test purchase in test mode or an agreed, immediately cancelled order, via a verified bot purchase report, or via shop logs with spot check. We never trigger real orders at third-party shops. The free check awards R0 through R3 only.

Search the public Ready4Bots index. Free text matches name, industry, tags, product keywords, category, description, and domain, including synonyms such as shoes/sneakers, coffee/espresso, and hotel/lodging. Results are ranked by that relevance, then by published R-level. Filter by category (E-commerce, SaaS, or an industry id such as fashion-shoes), country, exact level (R0–R3 from a published test, R4 only for the certified seal), minimum level, action (search, book, or order), audience (customer, seller, or dev), and certified. The response includes indexSize ("more than 30,000") and indexSource. totalIndexed is omitted. total is the number of matches for this request. limit and offset page those matches. Each result includes level, status, certified, industry, channel, actions, audience, sourceUrl, and ready4botsUrl. A level is present only when a test recorded one. Unverified listings are never certified. The tool waits for the live providers table. indexSource is postgres when that read finishes, including when it returns no public row. indexSource is snapshot, with fallbackReason, only when the database cannot be reached. get_business reads the same catalog.
