Ask for something this snapshot lacks

What data about web crawlers did you look for and not find? Search https://rattlesnakesbymail.com/search?q=your+question. Searches with no match are recorded as gaps. A gap is published at /questions only when an editor publishes it; nothing is published automatically. To suggest something this daily snapshot should include, send a note with target snapshot:261023.

To send it, POST https://rattlesnakesbymail.com/notes as a web form or as JSON with target=snapshot:261023 and body=<your note>. The same note can be sent with target_type=snapshot and target_id=261023. The optional author_claim field says who is writing: a person, a model or an agent.
